Interviewed Apr 2012 in Bend, OR (took 3 weeks)
After finally connecting with the scheduler, PPS was very inflexible as to interview time and day. Got the impression "now or never". Interviewer took a personal phone call in the middle of interview. Interviewer could not answer several questions about the company. Initial Phone interview was a no show, then was rescheduled 3 times at their request = always an odd excuse. "We will be in touch next week" was not honored, recruiter wont return phone calls, 1:1 interviewer was abrupt and unprofessional when called regarding further information. Thought it was odd that "fun" was one of the most important guidelines in this company according to district manager.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Albuquerque, NM (took 2 weeks)
Initial interview was interesting - was called to come in, met with the district manager as the position was open. He had been the prior BM. Waited for a half hour as he was on a conference call. Once that was completed, we spoke for a bit then toured the branch. Very run-down, dirty facility. This was followed by another interview with a regional manager a few weeks later at a local hotel. This did not go well at all - she was very abrupt, made it clear that my age was an issue for her and my experience meant nothing to her.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)
Was called by a recruiter, who performed a 15 minute interview over the phone. She then sent links to 2 assessments, which I finished the next day. Upon completion of the assessments, I was set up for another phone interview. The recruiter told me to be sure I contacted her as soon as I completed the 2nd interview.
The interview started with me reviewing my resume, and the interviewee giving me some basic information about the company. He then asked me what I would do if a salesperson had signed up someone on Medicare for service but didn't have all of the paperwork filled out. I thought that this was strange since we had earlier established that I didn't have any direct knowledge of Medicare rules; but I answered that my 1st inclination was to take care of the customer and book the revenue and then take care of any paperwork deficiencies; if Medicare allowed that. He said that Medicare did not allow that but seemed OK with my answer. Then he said they were "running lean", and what would I do if one of my delivery people called off? He had also mentioned that they were "running lean" when he was describing the position to me. I had this exact situation come up previously in my last job, and told him I would do whatever was needed to take care of the customer so I'd jump in a truck and run the route. He then asked me if I had any questions and told me to be sure I contacted the recruiter. So the entire interview consisted of 2 questions and took about 20 minutes.
I then tried contacting the recruiter and left a message on her voicemail. I left another voicemail the next morning, and then sent a follow-up e-mail. I waited another 3 days and left another voicemail and e-mail and have yet to hear anything back.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Lexington, KY (took 2 days)
Pacific Pulmonary was holding a job fair at a local hotel in the area and I decided to apply. There were two people interviewing applicants in a room. The one on one interview consisted of regular questions such as job history and the most difficult/stressful situation I had ever dealt with in my recent job. I received a follow up call the next day letting me know that they had chosen me as one of the twenty applicants and that they would be sending me a link to an assessment. The assessment consisted of two personality tests and one skills test which dealt with simulated calls. In order to pass the simulated call test you must choose answers that promote the sale of an item. The email with the link stated they would contact me within 2 business days and this never occurred so I emailed them and soon after I received an automated response letting me know that they had seriously reviewed my qualifications, but that there were better candidates fit for the job.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
Sent an email regarding an open house interview. Interviewed 1:1 and told that I had advanced to the second round and needed to take the IQ test. A second interview was then scheduled and then abruptly cancelled less than 3 hours beforehand. Very confusing.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 4 months)
Normally there are two interviews with the DM and one with the RD. The first one is for about an hour. The second is an "in-depth" interview for about 2-3 hours. The interview with the RD is generally an hour or a little longer
They will ask you to tell them in detail about experiences and successes you have had. Put them in STAR format -- situation/task, action, results. Be prepared to discuss your successes and how you did it.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
group interviews were well organized and executed. I always question the effectiveness of the personality tests. The skill test was fine - how quickly can a group of papers be organized into logical files. I did enjoy the personal interviews. I thought both interviewers were skilled, thoughtful and really listened to the answers. They did not waste time asking the same old silly questions. Their questions were in line with the position. In the end I feel Pacific Pulmonary is a great company.
