      ECommerce Site Merchandiser Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Pond Guy (Armada, MI) in Sept 2025

      Interview

      I was sent a link to the Predictive Index, which I later found out my interviewer hadn't looked at it. So, I'm not sure how it plays a part or why you'd send it before deciding whether or not to interview someone. I was emailed a few days after completing it for a phone screening, and every email I got asked me to complete the Predictive Index. Phone screening was roughly 30 minutes and was one of those situations where you feel like you did a good job but the interviewer was the type with whom it was hard to build a good rapport. Kudos to her for saying you'll hear by a certain day and actually sticking to that, but it was a rejection. My sense is they're not seriously hiring for this position. I saw another review say it has been out there for a while. They either have ridiculously high/picky standards, they are trying to fool employees doing the tasks into thinking they will be relieved of them eventually, or they're just trying to look like they're growing. Part of the reason I think this is because I asked the interviewer about whether or not this was a new job or if they were replacing someone, and she said it's a job they created but others there have been doing the work. So, that plus knowing this job has been listed for months and months tell me there's no real interest to actually hire for this, they're fine to have other people bogged down with these duties and you probably have to blow them out the water/be totally overqualified to get this if they ever do hire anyone. If they're looking for someone to own GA4 and data like another review said, that doesn't come across in the interview based on the questions asked.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your interview experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve our hiring process. We are sorry to hear that parts of your experience felt unclear, particularly around the use of the Predictive Index assessment and how it factors into our interview decisions. It is meant to assess a person’s workplace behaviors including what their motivating drives and needs are. This is only one of the pieces we look at when considering someone for a role. Your feedback is a good reminder that we can do a better job explaining how it fits into the process. We are glad to hear that you had clear follow-up and communication from the interviewer. That’s something we work hard to maintain across all of our interviews. We will share your comments with our team to help us continue to improve the candidate experience. Thank you for your honesty and for taking the time to apply. We wish you all the best in your job search.
