I was invited to interview for a Customer Service position at the soon-to-be opening Jersey City, New Jersey location via email on 11/1. The email was sent the very same morning the job fair was taking place. Knowing that I would not be able to attend due to previously schedule engagements, I called the store (as instructed in the email) to request to be phone interviewed. A team leader in the customer serice team answered the phone; when I explained I could not attend the fair but was still interested in being phone screened, he advised I call in at 1pm. So I did. I was phone interviewed by an Assistant Manager (I failed to collect his name during the screening); despite the completion of the screening, he advised I would still have to come in person to be interviewed. We agreed I can come in the following day at 12pm. Later during the day, I received a generic email instructing me not to attend the fair unless I was instructed to, as all customer service roles were filled. I called the following morning (the day I was scheduled to come in) to ensure I would be seen and to avoid taking the trip in vain. The individual who answered the phone the day prior confirmed I can still attend. Now, when I made it to the market, it was imparted to me that all the customer service positions had been filled already. A team leader in the production team was kind enough to interview me (and offered me a position paying $15.50). No member of the customer service team cared to apologize for the trouble, despite having been distantly introduced to me. This experience was so infuriating and I have never experienced anything like it. Not only has Whole Foods dodged me as a potential employee, they have also lost me as a customer. Shame on you!
