This company was brought to my attention as a friend of a friend worked there. I was looking to change jobs and was told she loved it. I submitted an application for an Inventory Analyst position in a corporate office and listed the friend of a friend as a reference. After a preliminary phone interview, I was emailed to inquire about my salary requirements, something they forgot to ask about on the call. I replied and listed my salary requirements to change jobs, as I had been with my then current company for 5+ years. Knowing this, they then proceeded with 3 rounds of face-to-face interviews and eventually made me an offer. Ha, I call it an offer, it was more like a slap in the face. The offer was $12k less than I stated my minimum salary requirement would be and even thousands less than I was currently making. They also wanted me to work 10 hours per week MORE than I was currently, which was 40, for this lesser pay. AND, where I currently had 23 days of PTO (sick, vacation, etc.), they were only offering 5 days, total. 5 days off a year, 50 hour weeks, for lesser pay. What the hell!? Who would take that offer? I did start to negotiate and they came up $5k, but not nearly enough to make the offer enticing. During this, I also started having this friend of a friend make contact to try and convince me to take the job. Saying that it’s so worth it, etc. This seems like a breach in their HR, because she should not have known I was offered the job and seemed to know way too much about the offer. Just a huge waste of time, especially after being upfront about my salary requirements, and I can’t believe anyone who would be happy working in an environment that pays so far under scale and has such horrible work/life schedule.
