I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Johnstone Supply (Sacramento, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
This was a telephone interview, followed by a PI Cognitive Assessment test. The interviewer said she would be sending the link to the test within the next 30 minutes. This didn't happen for 24 hours and after I messaged her that I haven't received it . When I contacted her about the results 8 days later she said she could not find results.
S&P reported; on May 8, 2024 "Management...negative consideration...of Johnstone due to its ownership by a controlling owner." ;
Does Johnstone micro manage it's mangers? And if so how?
Had the initial phone screening, went over your standard questions. This was followed up with a in person meeting with the regional. Lastly had a 4 person panel interview. It seemed intimidating at first but as we settled in, the interview went smoothly.
