I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Theory (Livermore, CA) in May 2017
Interview
I met with the district manager and the store manager. They were well spoken and friendly. I never felt awkward or nervous. They asked me questions about my personal life as well as my work life which made me believe that the job was also that way. They were both passionate about theory and you could tell by the way that they explained the position. It gave me a lot of drive to answer eloquently so that I could get the job.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Theory in Mar 2017
Interview
Received a one line email from HR. "Send me your resume" Nothing else.
This was followed a few days later by someone asking me to come to the office at a specific day and time. Not given a choice or option. Clearly.
I was supposed to meet HR. She wasn't there. No emails. No notes. No explanation.
I then met with the hiring manager for that position which went ok.
This review is not about the job itself, it's about the lack of communication, and frankly, lack of care from HR. No one is asking to be friends, but a little respect and politeness would be perfectly fine. Looking for a job is not a criminal act.
I did send a note to her afterwards and one to the person who greeted me at the office asking for the emails of the people I met. ...cold shoulder is all I got from both of them. Haha.
A few reviews mention how disorganized HR is. Maybe their management should look into this first before hiring any candidates.
