I applied through other source. I interviewed at Burke Engineering
Interview
Quick easy and fun chat . The atmosphere seemed like a bunch of friends getting together to hang out. I was pleasantly surprised at how laid back everyone was. We had a few jokes and got down to business.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Burke Engineering (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2010
Interview
I was interviewed by the director of branch operations. He was the only person who made the decision. The interview was mostly to gauge the person than anything else, but that might have been because I have a lot of technical experience and a degree in business management.
If you've never worked at a wholesaler for parts, such as this or Johnstone Supply, Grainger, ect, consider yourself fortunate. It's low pay but the pressure can be on until you adapt to your company (and coworkers). For those with HVAC/R background, its all about adapting to each companies culture and personality. Smaller distributors such as this will always have a worse environment.
