I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at The Hershey Company
Interview
This company is so unprofessional. First of all, I got contacted by a recruiter online about this job and she explained to me the job and benefits. I then had to a video interview that lasted 30mins. They said I would hear back within one week if I was chosen to move forward. I didn't hear back until two weeks later that I was chosen. Then it took over a month to schedule a field day with a rsr. This rsr made me do physical work even though it's against company rules. I had to carry boxes, open boxes, stock shelves, and at one point I had to stock a whole shelve by myself while the rsr left me. Regardless, I got an email from another recruiter to pick out locations that I wanted to relocate to. I picked my top four and it took over two weeks to get back to me with a day for my panel interview. It was a video interview with the district manager of my desired location. The area manager wasn't there. The district manager looked like she just rolled out of bed. Her hair was in a messy bun and wearing a sweatband. Her dog barked a couple times throughout the interview. Told me the cities I wanted to relocate to were already filled even though the website said there were still openings. Said I would hear back within a week. Three weeks later, not hearing anything, I emailed my recruiter if she had any word and all I got was a genetic rejection email. Not even a personal rejection email. That's the most rude, unprofessional, cowardly, lazy way to say no. I spent over three months on this interview process, took off work at my current job, worked so hard at my field day that I was sweating and after all this, I got a genetic rejection email. I'm extremely angry and disappointed and annoyed. I'm never buying another hershey product again.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Houston, TX)
Interview
The first step was an in person interview
with HR and the hiring manager. You also did a ride along with one of their Sales Reps to see if the position would actually be a good fit for you and if you would be a good fit for the company. The rep evaluates you and advises management if you should move forward in the interview process, etc. Not certain if the process has changed.
I had multiple virtual interviews with friendly employees. After those, I had a field interview where I shadowed an employee in the role I had applied for. That is when I realized the job wasn't for me, though the employee I shadowed seemed to really enjoy his job. The interview process wasn't overly drawn out, it was straight forward, and I have no complaints.
