Uline Sales Representative interview questions

could be the worst interview process I have ever had, this was sent to me As part of the Uline interview process. we have asked that you complete a set of four assessments. "These assessments were sent to you by email, and need to be completed prior to your interview. As of now they have not yet been completed." At this point I have had a short interview and was told to get these done on my own. My next interview was for Tuesday next week and this email was sent to me two days after the first interview? Rushing me to do two hours of assessments, before I even know what the job pays? If you are hiring sales people this is a huge red flag for micromanagement, which from the other reviews is apparently a problem. I stopped the process right then and said I wasn't interested. It's very surprising this would be standard process and its not hard to see why Uline is having trouble hiring, as I have seen the same jobs posted for years over and over. Get a grip you sell shipping supplies not brain scanners.

The interview process was very odd, if I had to summarize it. My phone interview with their head of HR was very robotic. He didn't have any emotion whatsoever, didn't really respond to any of my answers (went straight to the next question), and overall he came off as way too shy to be in HR. My in person interviews were odd as well. The first was a panel with the regional manager and sales director. Both were nice but asked odd questions throughout the whole process. Like, "Why are you looking to get out of retail stores?", "What other companies are you applying to?", "What were your sales quota goals from 2016?", "If we hire you are you going to jump ship if a different opportunity presents itself?". The last round was with the branch manager, who was nice but very hard to read. He didn't have much of a reaction to any of my answers, and barely made eye contact with me during the process. Again, more odd interview questions asking me about where else I'm applying to, sales goals from years ago, my sell-in $$ amounts to various big box accounts in my previous role. Overall it was very odd like I stated above. I remained positive throughout the whole thing, but decided probably halfway through the first panel interview that this place wasn't for me and didn't go very much into detail with any other questions I was asked. I started to worry more about beating the traffic home.
