Alderwood Landscaping interview questions

Easy to set up the interview- Johnny was very responsive to emails. To begin the interview, he asked what questions I had about the company or the position. Everything is pretty straight forward with entry level labor positions like this, so I asked about job shadowing opportunities of architects. It's important to know if a company is truly interested in developing their employees if I were to accept a position with them. Accepting a low wage is fine, if I am confident in the company and their growth opportunities and If I am interviewing a candidate, I would want someone who is looking long-term, who actually wants to grow with the company. His answer was that they weren't doing anything like that. To clarify, I let him know that I wouldn't expect to be compensated for that, it's just to learn other aspects of the business on my days off. He let me know that they are really just looking for someone to do the grunt work. That was red flag number one- no interest in finding a long-term employee. Red flag number 2 was that they don't offer insurance to full time employees until they've worked there for a year. How they find anyone worthwhile with those two practices is beyond me. The rest of the interview was straight forward- nothing noteworthy to mention, but Johnny said that they would get back to me later that day or the next day at the latest. He did not. It's been 5 days since the interview and needless to say, this did not surprise me based on everything else I learned about the company through Johnny. It's unfair of me to judge a company based on my experience with one employee. That said, not only would I not recommend applying for a position of any kind here, but I would not hire this company to work on my property either. This surprised me based on the quality of their website and the professional office space they are in. For the money they were offering for the position (decent, not bad, not great) there are many other companies in the area to invest the time interviewing for.
