      Financial Advisor Trainee Interview

      8 Nov 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Palmdale, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Merrill (Palmdale, CA) in Aug 2022

      Interview

      Preliminary recruiter treated me like a number with “the opportunity” to interview for the role. Once I passed to the next step, the actual manager spoke of how he treated his own employees when a customer would personally attack the employees. He said there is always a reason the customer is dissatisfied. I disagreed and said I didn’t want to work under a company that threw its employees under the bus for the sake of appeasing a customer
