I got a interview with the company for seasonal job. I had years of call center experience. I agree with previous reviewers. Interviewer was too stuck up and ended my interview quickly. Interviewers need to work more on people skills. Stuff like this make me avoid applying for with that company.
Thanks for putting this together for us Leisa. You know I’m passing this along. 🙂 Have a great weekend!

As always, you too. And thank you.
