Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Essendant (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2016
Interview
Very poor follow up from the recruiters. No one knew anything about the position. The hiring manager did not know I was scheduled for an interview but he was kind enough to finish his lunch early and interview me. I was taken on a tour of the facility. The hiring manager was very knowledgeable and had a lot of tenure with the company.
Met with the Director, AGOM, 3 Operations Managers and HR. Sat down individually and then again as a group at the end of the interview process. Primary purpose was to gain insight on how I manage not so much my skill set. They are looking for people that can change a culture and engage the people to effect change.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you knew your manager was wrong and how did you manage through it?
If you could be any animal what would you be. (Be careful with this one!)
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Essendant (Cincinnati, OH) in Mar 2015
Interview
There is a phone interview with a recruiter and if he/she like the way it went, you would then interview with one of the managers at the warehouse. If you have a good interview with the manager, you would then meet with the VP.
