      Entry Level Management Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chicago, IL
      Declined offer

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Chicago Vision (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      The first interview with Mr. Goodchild was excellent-he's very easy going and easy to get along with, we got along great! The second round interview I came in and there were tons of other candidates there as well. Now usually I know I'm competing against other candidates in search of a job but to have 10+ candidates there face to face was very odd. I really was not given true expectations of this round. I figured I would be in the office training (they said it would be an un paid training/shadowing day). I met the woman who I was going to be shadowing-I don't recall her name- and she seemed very down to earth and friendly. I had no idea where we were going but she had me follow her to the L, then to a bus, all for which I was apparently responsible for covering the cost of. Again, I was never told to expect this. Once we arrived at our training station I realized that we were going to be literally acting as sales employees at Best Buy selling xfinity packages. I thought maybe this is a taste of who I'd be managing or something of the sort, I was wrong. I was being trained to sell (fully on commission) packages. This was one of the tiers to their "training". Don't get me wrong, I 100% am understanding of sales as a profession, as well as working commission based. But that was absolutely not the job that was advertised as. Apparently it was multiple months long of doing this sales stuff, and then ending up training the people to do the sales, so your working the same thing again. We had a quick lunch across the street-tiny diner but delicious food- which I was also in charge of paying for and was not informed of this. They also had this bs training slide show, and a training packet to fill out. Easy peasy. Once our "shift" was done, we were headed back to the office for final recommendations and a quiz basically that was from the packet. This was all semi normal to me, but HERES WHERE THE ISSUE WAS: We returned to the building and the woman I was shadowing me asked me if I had any doubts because she only wanted to recommend me if I was 100% sure. I said I had doubts. I didn't think it was the right fit for me (mainly because they advertised the position as management) so I was honest, as I didn't want to put her reputation at risk. She got very upset with me and told me that I should have told her before we left the site (Best Buy) so she could have stayed later to make more commissions. Pardon me if I am inaccurate about the etiquette here, but this woman took me on two forms of public transportation and I had no clue where I was and she expected me to get home on my own? As soon as the tone changed I knew I had done the right thing by not accepting the position. It's very unfortunate because I felt as if I had a great connection with Mr. Goodchild, but when it came down to it, the job (posted by Mr. Goodchild) was false advertising, and I was treated quite poorly once I was no longer of value to the company. Just FYI, if I wanted to work in sales at xfinity, I would have applied at xfinity.
