InterviewI applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Advantage Solutions in Feb 2022
I was told what the job was; no questions were asked. The manager seemed determined to find a quick replacement. No proper training was offered during the process. The manager seemed half-witted and problematic with authority.

InterviewI applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Advantage Solutions in Dec 2021
A total of 2 interviews. Both times there were two people asking questions. Essentially they asked questions to see where I would best fit within the team. It was a very straight forward interview, so for preparation, I recommend being authentic and express how different experiences can relate to this position.

Difficult Interview
Application
InterviewI interviewed at Advantage Solutions (Ogden, UT)
Scout interview, phone interview, essay, video interview. The process was a little much for a not that great job. The thing that bothered me is that one person implied I had the job and after my last interview they went with someone else. That’s fine, but they never contacted me to let me know the position had been filled. Well, the person they chose didn’t work out so they asked me to start the process all over again if I still want the job- this is for someone who previously worked in another branch of the company for several years and left in good standing
Interview Questions
- They asked for an essay. It wasn’t too challenging but 3-4 interviews plus an essay is pretty intense for a low level position

InterviewI applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Advantage Solutions (San Pedro, CA) in Jun 2021
I had two interviews with Advantage Solutions over the past month; both were held via ZOOM call. The first was more of a feeling out process. It felt like a conversation more than an interview, which I enjoyed. The second was focused on my background, expereinces, what the job entails, and why the company should choose me to represent them.
