Interview
Just a phone call curious about roll. Was informed of some possible issues for employees. Hoped to see if it’s as bad as it sounds or if it’s worth it.

Very friendly. Generic questions. Spent most of the interview talking about the company. Admittedly said there is no room for growth unless you commute to another city 40 miles away.
