Interviewed Nov 2011 in Fort Collins, CO (took a day)
I'm very unimpressed with the way the company runs things. I showed up to an interview expecting professionalism. The interviewer was late by several minutes, and what I believed to be an individual interview turned out to be a group interview. The interview was held in the food court. When I asked the interviewer about the company's professionalism he couldn't give me a professional answer. Coupled with the fact that he was the co-owner of the company's Colorado branch I'm extremely disappointed by the entire affair and expect more from any company.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 days)
I signed up for an "$8,000 internship" in a class. Called out of the blue 3 weeks later and asked to group interview the next day in the food court. Then had what they called an info session where they have a smooth talker blatantly lie to you about the work & money you will make.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Found out that the $8,000 is what you make for the company, not what you get to keep.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 4 days)
My experience with College Works Painting interview process was a little different than usual. I have had a few good friends work with the company over the past 2 years so I skipped the initial phone interview.
I went through two phases of interviews. First there was a reverse interview. This was a great chance to learn more about the company and impress the interviewer with some of your own personal work ethic and past achievements.
Next was the interview with the Regional Director. This is an intense interview where your expectations will be challenged. Be ready to show that you will put in great effort and backup everything that you say. The Regional Director is not to be trifled with and will put you on the spot to perform a sale in the middle of the interview.

Negotiation Details
There really isn't much negotiation with salary. However you could change your starting dates. Once again, this is a company where the more you put in the more returns you receive!
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 4 days)
Overall a very negative interview process. The phone interview was fine, and the interviewer invited me for a group panel discussion. After that was a one on one interview, which was normal as well. However, when I was called with the job offer, the interviewer mentioned that I was in a certain fraternity, and that most people in that organization "don't cut it here at College Works." Overall, a very unpleasant experience full of stereotyping and negativity. But that's what you get when you have college frat boys managing the lower tiers of your MFM.

I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process is long and tedious. The first is a phone interview where you have no idea who they are. Then if you pass, you are invited to a group interview. After which is another group interview and then finally a one on one interview.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 1+ week)
A recruiter came into my classroom and handed out flyers to students. The flyers asked for basic information like name, e-mail, graduating year, etc. About a month later I got a call from one of the "vice presidents" and recruiters for CWP and he asked me some questions to assess my interest in the company. He offered me an on-campus interview. The interview process consisted of 3 separate on-campus interviews, all by the same "vice president".
The interview process made the internship sound too good to be true, and that's exactly the way it turned out. The interviewer describe the internship as a glamourous "management" position with the high possibility of amazing profits and an invaluable networking experience. What I realized quickly is that the internship is a commission-based sales job that relies on door-to-door sales pitches to sell an inferior paint job to good, helpless people. I quit the internship quickly.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in State College, PA (took 2 days)
First interview was really informal and determined if you were chosen for the real first interview (a reverse interview). The interviewer seemed unintelligent and only seemed capable of usingfootball analogies to answer my questions. The interview was supervised by the founder of the company, and he basically tried to convince me that getting a job in finance was impossible and that college works was the best thing since sliced bread.

Didn't seem like a good opportunity for a finance major

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took a day)
The interview was a simple one on one interview that was initiated by the recruiter. The recruiter set up phone interviews as well as in person interviews gauging the interest of the applicant and how their circumstances factored into managerial success.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Provo, UT (took 3 days)
At first there was an informal informational interview where three potential employees showed up to get more information from two different people who were interviewing (Branch and District Managers). They only allowed one of us to go on to the next formal interview with just the district manager. From there it feels like you have a constant competition to stay on top of your game to get the most leads on potential painters and flyer/advertisement distributors ect.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Too much work for a sketchy and unguaranteed pay. If I wanted to work that hard, I would simply work on my own and make a lot more money.
