      Retail Sales Representative Interview

      11 Dec 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Houston, TX
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Hershey Company in Jul 2012

      Interview

      $39,400, Company Car benefits, etc. Must be willing to relocate if you want a chance to get hired they are all about relocation especially for promotions. Beginning of May 2012 Applied online for a position, 3 days later contacted for a phone interview. Very basic , you walk them through your resume and answer 1-2 STAR format questions Middle of May First phone interview with an HR Lady after the phone interview she sent me an email indicating she would forward my interview to the District Manager for a 2nd interview. 2 weeks went by and I didn't hear anything so I emailed her and I was then scheduled for a phone interview with a district manager. Middle of June interview with District manager. STAR Format. 10 days later I was asked to go on a field day with a Retail Sales Representative. 1 week after my field day I was contacted by HR and asked to fly to Chicago From the Southwest for a final fourth interview. They paid for the flight and let you expense the whole trip. I was extremely excited for the opportunity. End of June Final fourth interview was with A district Manager, HR person, and Area Sales Manager. Again asked about relocation and many STAR format questions. The whole interview they were writing stuff down onto a packet of questions they were reading from. It was hard to tell how I did because they were writing everything I was saying down. They said I would get a Yes or No answer withing 7 days whether or not I would be selected for the position. Beginning of July Qualifications for the position state you should either have 3+ years of sales experience or a bachelors degree. I just recently graduated with bachelors degree in Business, 4 years of sales expierience and said I was willing to relocate anywhere, and still did not get an offer. I emailed them after the 7th day of not hearing anything and they replied back stating they decided to move forward with another candidate but did not give me a reason as to why I was not selected- What a heart breaker after 2 months of all that preparation for each interview.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Houston, TX)

      Interview

      The first step was an in person interview with HR and the hiring manager. You also did a ride along with one of their Sales Reps to see if the position would actually be a good fit for you and if you would be a good fit for the company. The rep evaluates you and advises management if you should move forward in the interview process, etc. Not certain if the process has changed.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at The Hershey Company

      Interview

      I had multiple virtual interviews with friendly employees. After those, I had a field interview where I shadowed an employee in the role I had applied for. That is when I realized the job wasn't for me, though the employee I shadowed seemed to really enjoy his job. The interview process wasn't overly drawn out, it was straight forward, and I have no complaints.
