Interviewed May 2012 in Cincinnati, OH (took 4+ weeks)
I have never been so disappointed in my life with how I was treated.
I interviewed twice with two different GSM and when I left I felt so humiliated.
After having a four hour onsite interview with the first lady and an hour with a different man, I left feeling like a failure. I have never been treated in so rude a manner.
I was told that I was not motivated enough to have this job and that I dont show enough passion to achieve in life. I am 21 yrs old, am married, have my own condo, that I bought at age 20, and have worked multiple jobs to get me where I am today. If thats not enough motivation then I must be crazy.
So in short if you wanna interview with a place that treats you like dirt before they even hire you, then have at it. The money may be better but I would not have accepted this if I had been unemployed for 4 years.
I would rather have a place where I am appreciated than a place that thinks it is right to treat their potential employees like I was treated.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 5 days)
I didnt apply for the job. I was contacted by the company. The recruiter seemed very nice in the phone interview and we arranged an in person interview. They give you an assignment to list 20 manufacuring companies and their distributors as well as 6 trucking companies. When I went to the in person interview, that same recruiter was extremely condescending and rolled her eyes at me twice during the interview. She did call me back the next day to schedule the final interview and I returned her call but never did hear from her but I decided not to pursue it any further. I know the offer of $35,000 a year sounds tempting when you are desperate for a job especially when it's extremely hard to get that kind of money elsewhere without a lot of experience but after that training period, you go to 100% commission. You might make good money but you'll never time to enjoy it. If you really think you'd be passionate about that kind of work, go for it but don't take this job as a quick fix to your financial problems

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Louisville, KY (took 2 weeks)
Challenging, but worth it. It was much more involved than any other company I interviewed with. They weren't just trying to talk up the job. I was shot straight about potential income, as well as the work load and the I time commitment that I was facing.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Tampa, FL (took 3 weeks)
TQL's interview process is extremely time consuming and misleading, and slightly shady. The first portion of the interview is a common phone discussion, in which a recruiter contacts you and asks you normal interview-type questions about your past. The recruiter was very friendly and encouraging, and said that I had done great.
I was instructed to complete a "short" assignment (which took quite a bit of time) which consisted of compiling a list of 15 manufacturing companies and determining who they use for their logistics services, and handing that list in upon arrival at the interview. What this does is provide TQL with 15 effortless leads that they can use to try to steal business. You have just done WORK for TQL and you will not be paid for it.
Upon receiving an invitation to drive to the other side of the state (lucky me) for an in-person interview, it was a whole different world. The character who interviewed me was demeaning, condescending, and accusing me of things that didn't even seem pertinent to the position. Upon informing him that it was the recent death of my father that motivated me to finish college and look for a real career, he gave a fake "sorry" and proceeded to tell me that I obviously wasn't motivated enough for a company like TQL. I honestly should have just left the interview right then and there.
They'll have you shadow a TQL employee for an hour or two. The individual I was observing had bloodshot eyes, looked miserable, had a row of empty energy drinks on his desk, and when I listened in on his phone conversations, he was holding the same fake conversations with everyone he spoke to. Small talk about weather must get old after awhile.
I thankfully did not receive an offer.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Cincinnati, OH (took 3 weeks)
I was not impressed with this company. The interview process was extremely long and after over three weeks and three trips to the office for interviews, their offer was well below the industry average. The culture seemed very active and exciting. It was my impression that they bring large amounts of candidates for which they try to impress and give an unreasonable offer; of course some are bound to accept. I feel that my interviews with TQL were a complete waste of my time.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Tampa, FL (took a day)
It is really not a hard interview. I only went to the first round before getting denied. I sort of lost interest after reading all these reviews from glassdoor about workers were getting burned out from working 60-80 hours a week. So with that being said, I didn't have the best attitude as I usually have when undergoing the interview process. On the first round, they more just want to see if your a good fit for the company first. They ask about your resume, why you want to work for the company, what TQL does, and what is the position you are doing. Make sure you really sell yourself well in this interview

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Charlotte, NC (took 5 days)
Interviewed with TQL in Jan, 2012. Had a phone interview that was fairly long, but consisted of questions for me as well as lots of information about the position. Went in the next week for an interview in the office. There were assignments to complete before coming into the office. Not too difficult, but have to do some research. Came in and took a test on the states' abbreviations, a company history test, and a typing test. Also watched short video on the computer about the position. Then shadowed two people already working there. Next was a sit down interview with the recruiting person in the office and a sit down with the General Manager of the office.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The job consisted of sitting at a computer and talking on the phone all day, which was definitely not for me. GM was very rude to me, would ask me a question then interrupt me, speak to me in a condescending tone. I knew within 5 minutes of talking to him how much money he made; generally a good sign that you don't want that job.
