Interview

Go to the corporate office and they send you to whatever site has current openings. The account manager interviews you at the specific site. More of a run down of what the job entails, rather than an actual interview.

I interviewed at U.S. Security Associates (Miami, FL)

Interview

Place is a joke. I could tell this just from showing up to the place but I said to myself let me not judge a book by its cover. I go in to meet for a sales role and I meet with the 2 owners and boy was it comical. The most unprofessional and disrespectful interview I have ever been apart of. I walked out mid interview because I had to say why would anyone want to work for you , I’m not even employed by you an this is how you talk to people . Place is an absolute joke do not waste your time.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at U.S. Security Associates (Eden Prairie, MN) in Jun 2018

Interview

I applied online and was set a time for an interview the next day within a few hours. When I went in for my scheduled time, there was clearly some confusion over the position I was applying for and my scheduled interview. I filled out one form on my availability then was told the assistant manager was not there to do the interview, so I would have to come in later for a second round interview. Before I even got home, I was emailed a rejection letter. It was as if the position had already been filled, but no one wanted to tell me face to face.
