I applied for a job that was far away because I was going to move and I wanted to have a good job lined up. I had read a lot of positive reviews on Glassdoor, and I have had positive working experience with credit unions before, so I applied to WSECU. A couple of days later, a rep called to set up a phone interview. This was nice, since a lot of companies won't interview or hire long distance. The phone interview was with two people. They called a few minutes late, but it happens. It was pretty basic behavioral and experience interview questions. It went fine. Neither spectacularly good or spectacularly awful. They say in the interview that they want to find someone by the end of February, so when I don't hear back for a couple of weeks, I figure they went in a different direction. Then an HR person calls me unusually late (like 7PM) and tells me that I'm one of the finalists for the job, so could I go online again and give them permission to check my references and would I be available to start the first week of March. I go on, and I do everything she tells me. I give three professional and three personal references on Friday. The next Wednesday afternoon, I get another job offer. So before I turn it down, I think I should call up the good people of WSECU to make sure I'm still in the running. It's been three business days, which in my experience is about how long a background check takes. I think they might be almost done. No one answers, so I leave a message just asking about my status. That night, I get contacted by a several of the references I gave, letting me know that WSECU called them and they said nice things. They even called the last person I listed, which leads me to believe that they called everyone I listed. So I figure I'll hear back the next day one way or the other. No such luck. They still haven't called me back. In my experience in customer service, you would never not return a phone call by the end of the next business day, at the very latest. Maybe they don't think potential hires deserve such consideration, which is odd, but I don't know their culture so I'm not one to judge. I do know that the beginning of March is less than a week away and I live across the country, so they either have no respect for my time and how long it takes to move across the country, or they don't think they should have to tell people that were "finalists" for a position that they didn't get it and they should look elsewhere (which also indicates a lack of respect). I might be an anomaly, because I know people slip through the cracks, and it seems like most people like working here, but I personally had a confusing and unsatisfying experience.
