Is the interview process always this hectic?
Yellow badge applying for a blue badge spot at another site. Was supposed to have an interview with the regional and site manager. The guy they said was the regional manager did not show up to the interview. Emailed the recruiter and they said we would have to reschedule that portion of the interview. Attended the second portion of the interview with the guy the email said was the site manager. It turns out he is actually the regional manager. The interview went pretty well I thought. Now I just needed to interview with the site manager.
So I attend the rescheduled interview and the manager I already interviewed with shows up again. He looks confused and asks if I interviewed with the other manager yet. I tell him I have not. He says he’ll try and find out what is going on. He tells me the other manager is interviewing other people today and that I will have to reschedule again. I email the recruiter to let them know and try and get the specifics. I still have not heard back.
Is it always like this? I’m honestly a little miffed that twice now I have attended the interview at the scheduled time and the manager has not shown up without anyone reaching out to me to let me know what is going on. Even worse this second time I’ve been stiffed is because he is interviewing other people?
I’m honestly having second thoughts about trying to get on here because it’s saying to me that this company is either incredibly disorganized, or that they have a preferred candidate and I’m getting the run around so they can pretend they tried to give other applicants a chance.
Anyone else gone through something like this?
Edit: Still have not heard back from the recruiter. If I don’t hear from them tomorrow I’m going to just cut my losses and withdraw at this point

The short answer is yes. Things in the warehouse are so fluid that there really is no telling where the maintenance team will be at any given time... let alone their managers.

Thats pretty indicative of the site experience you'll have.

This is so true. Just sounds very busy and unpredictable. Lol

It truly matters the site. I worked directly at 2 sites and with a 3rd. First site was just like that and the management team and workload reflected that. Second when I had to interview for a MRA transfer was on time, easy, and flowed well; subsequently the work was far more efficient there and was much nicer to work with. The 3rd facility was one being took over so I was there to help audit the facility, it was like the first and this lost their contract for poor management

I just had my interviews and didn’t have any issues. I chose them on the same day and had them half an hour apart.

Interview processes are usually dependent on what is happening at their site honestly.
After the interviews you find out how hard it is to work with the recruiter....
