I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lakeshore Learning Materials (Carson, CA) in Sep 2014
Interview
the interviewing process is straight forward and uncomplicated. The entire staff seemed very friendly and overall it was a warm environment, except for the parking situation, it took 3 circles in the lot to determine where it was okay to park. The confusing aspect was that during and after the interview, It is a bit hard to read where you stand and there was a long delay in hearing back after the initial interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lakeshore Learning Materials
Interview
The HR associate was very nice and asked all the proper questions. More so to get a feel for personality than skill set, which is handled by the manager of the position you are interviewing for. This part seemed a bit aggravating as it was like pulling teeth to get the person doing the interview to really engage. She merely only asked questions that you read out of a book.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The position is very regimented so to be asked if I was ok working a shift seemed odd for a salaried position.
Also, the family is still heavily involved which sometimes can be a bit challenging when they're not open to change because they feel the company is running just fine as it is.
