Category Manager at NBTY
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Ronkonkoma, NY Oct 2009 – Reviewed Oct 27, 2012
Interview Details – Long and drawn out process. But I must admit it was thorough. Underpaid me by almost 10K less than what the job offered. At the time I was in no position to negotiate. Now I look back and realize how demoralizing that was before I even started.
Interview Question – They were pretty standard. Alittle childish "How would you handle a conflict with another associate" Me: Depends on circumstance, associate, what the issue was about, minor or major....I did the dance and apparently it worked. Just knew it was going to be a catty place before I got there. And I was so right! View Answer
Negotiation Details – None. You got the job. Your starting salary is....

Assistant Fulfillment Supervisor at NBTY
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Carbondale, IL Aug 2008 – Reviewed Aug 30, 2012
Interview Details – Responded to an add in the local newspaper. Was interviewed by 4 top managers. The plant manager, the asst. plant manager, fulfillment supervisor and HR manager. I was notified a week later that I had been selected. They made me feel comfortable and asked if it was ok to be interviewed by a panel of people. I was not made aware of who the plant manager was until after the interview. Looking back on it, he was the one with the most questions.
Interview Question – One question I remember was what type of management philosophy did I believe in, and would I be willing to wright people up. I was also asked whether my military experience or my college experience had prepared me more for this position. View Answer
Negotiation Details – No ability to negotiate, I was offered $11 and hour and benefits to start. Take it, or leave it.

Negotiation Details – There was none. In this economy they held all the cards. They definitely low balled me. The job offered "X" and they offered me "X" less "Y".
