The process took 3+ months. The people are very nice but the HR person I dealt with was very unprofessional and I had to constantly call and email him to ever get a response and keep the process going. He was not responsive and would continually say he would let me know by the end of the week and I wouldn't hear back from him until I called and emailed him at least twice the following week.

Interview
I received an email from the recruiter, then we did a call, then I had a Zoom interview with two buyers. They ghosted me which was weird because everyone gave me very positive feedback and strong sense that I was really set for the role. After I reached out a time or two, they still never answered in any form to reject or inform me.

What sports or teams I liked specifically? What would I dress a guy friend in for a sporting event?
Interviewed a few years ago. The process was pretty straightforward and I had a couple of rounds with a group panel. The recruiter was a good communicator and very responsive throughout the process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Fanatics (Jacksonville, FL) in Sep 2024
Interview
Zoom interview, was going to be 4 interviews, only 3 showed up and 1 of the 3 was late. When they asked me questions they didn’t seem to care about my answers. Made up their mind in the first 5 minutes. I emailed them an hour after my interview to say thank you. Emailed them a week after to follow up. They never responded and never gave me any new. I found this to be rude and saddening as I wanted to work for this company. Shows a lot about their management and company. The disrespect of no response is awful. I am not a bad interviewer because it was the second one I had with Fanatics. This is not a company I would I apply to.
