Communication is very good throughout the interview process as it is fas and efficient. I have only gone through the interview process I haven't worked here yet. However, the interview process so far has been very smooth.

Short and simple, they will hire you if they need representatives in your area. You will have to make your own llc with the IRS though. The process is short and simple.

They want to know if you have a technical base, and if you do they will focus most of their attention on the communication and team collaboration aspects of the jon.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Seattle, WA
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Empire Today (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2023
Hands down the worst interview process I have ever experienced. Recruiter reached out to me regarding a position through Linkedin. I replied with my info and applied for the position on their website. After that, I received radio silence and then was told it was filled. A week or so later recruiter called me to set up an interview and we had a convo. After this, I followed up 2 times and never heard anything back. Two weeks later I received word that position was filled. Unprofessional to reach out twice for a position that is essentially unavailable. A waste of my time and theirs.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Pittsburgh, PA
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Empire Today (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2023
I took the first interview and things seemed to go well. They mainly asked me if I can do X, Y, and Z along with if A, B, and C would be issues (25% travel, heavy work environment, etc). Throughout this interview and in the follow-up call to schedule the second interview, they repeatedly asked why I didn't sound excited despite repeatedly telling them that I was and that I'm just a more level-headed and measured personality when it comes to excitement. They scheduled the interview for 5:30pm on Monday. They no-show the interview. No email, no call, no text. I reach out via text and email with no response in a week time frame. In short, they no-call/no-showed the interview they scheduled and ghosted.
- Is 25% travel fine? Can I handle heavy work-loads? Nothing about my experience or anything.

Overall is nice and professional. The HR is nice and very easy to contact. The managers are friendly. I could not ask for a more friendlier approach. They asked about my background and some projects I have done in the past

- Explain your previous sale experience

Very easy phone call with a hiring manager and interviewer. She asked very basic questions about relative and past experience, and told me what the job would require. She also mentioned the incentives and training making the job very enticing. It was hard work carrying all the samples into homes in the Florida heat, but I enjoyed the sales.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Empire Today
The interview process started out great and I went through several rounds of interviews. After the completion of I would say at least 3 interviews or conversations, I was ghosted. Approx 3-4 months later I was contacted by someone else asking if I would be interested in the same position. I informed them that I had already interviewed with other people and never heard back. They listed of someone that had left the company as an excuse as to why I never heard back... the problem with that is I had never met or spoken to them and they left several months prior to my original interview. I expressed my frustration with their candidate experience, especially given the type of role this would be supporting (Marketing why people should join the company). They let me know they would reach back out to see if I was still interested but I got an email a few days later saying I wasn't a good fit, which I'm sure they didn't enjoy me expressing how they treated a candidate when they called me acting like I had never interviewed. The overall candidate experience provided here left me dissatisfied.
