Interviewed and was offered, I turned it down. - Anonymous employee TravisMathew Employee Review

Full disclosure: I never worked here, only interviewed. I was pretty pumped about the opportunity to work for the company and applied and had an initial in person interview, approximately 30-45mins. I was then told that if I was moved forward I would have a few more phone interviews. Ok. That ended up being a 4 week, 5 call, an hour each interview process. For an hourly or salary store management role, IN RETAIL. Stop, it’s not that serious. In the initial interview I told the guy I wanted $20/hr if hourly and $50k if salary to which he said we were certainly on the same page. After those 4 weeks and 5 hours worth of interviews at odd times and me accommodating all of that, I finally was called with my offer: $18.50/hr. WHAT A JOKE. And then of course the requisite “well with OT and bonus potential $48k should be well within reach.” Shove it. On to the next. Amazing that employers don’t like when applicants fluff their experience and skills but somehow stringing people along to offer them well below their asking price is ok.
