Interviewed with recruiter and was told I was moving onto the next steps. Then was ghosted by the company. Followed up with recruiter that worked for Sazerac but never heard any response.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sazerac in Mar 2023
Interview
Don't even waste your time applying to this company. As many other reviews state they're HIGHLY unprofessional. The hiring manager I spoke with became very agitated that I had applied for more than one position with Sazerac. When they scheduled my interview, she never listed what position I was being considered for. She told me they save resumes and that I was wasting their time when applying to different openings. The position I was being considered for I had applied to a month prior! The recruiter was not polite at all but did mention she thought I was a good fit for the Market Development manager based on my 10 year experience in the alcohol industry. I was asked to update my resume and reply to 12 questions and email them to her ASAP. I updated my resume and replied to the questions within the day and never heard another thing. Complete waste of time.
