"In 2002, I started at WIS as an Inventory Manager in Gastonia, NC after completing my schooling at Michigan State University. / was looking for a management position that would allow me to grow with a company and put all of the skills I had learned over the years into practice. This turned out to be an even more exciting and rewarding career then I had ever imagined. During the last five years I have had the opportunity and distinct pleasure of working with the best in the business as well as the most advanced technology in the industry. I went from an Inventory Manager to an AreaManager after only 11 months,then after 12 months I was promoted to aDistrictManager. I have seen the company grow so much and it is still very exciting to know that so many opportunities for growth are still out there .If your idea of a great career is going to an office Monday thruFriday and working 9am-5pm, and then hanging it up when you go home, well keep looking. Now if you want a career that merges with your life, has unlimited challenges and rewards, that utilizes your hard work and no-quit attitude, all while working in a competitive team atmosphere, then you may just be the right person for this job!"

"After I graduated from Cal State University Fullerton, I was offered a full time Inventory Manager position with WIS. I was attracted to the opportunity because of the entrepreneurial spirit that existed in the company. It was challenging and fun to get to wear themany hats of operations, sales, customer serviceand human resource manager at such a young age. After I was promoted to Region Manager for a portion of LA and Hawaii, we ended up growing the Hawaii office into the largest and most profitable in the company! We truly controlled our own destiny.
My next career step was to National Training Manager, then Division VP for the Southern Division. More exciting chapters to come...

Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy InterviewWIS International 2010-07-14 10:38 PDTApplication
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at WIS International (San Diego, CA) in July 2010.
Interview
It was pretty straight forward. I went to a job fair. They gave me the information. I applied online. They called me for an interview. I went to the interview that was a group presentation. Then we were interviewed one on one. The next day they asked if I would like to come in for training. I accepted. But now I am looking up the background of the company and having doubts. But with the economy I need Something no matter how Low the pay is and only part time hours with no guarantee of hours.

Negotiation
There was no negotiation. I asked questions and the answered them
