I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Service Corporation International (Richmond, VA) in Jan 2018
Interview
2 in-person interviews, then offered a job from a local chapter. I accepted the job, was then told I just needed to fill out the paperwork to move forward. The "paperwork" turned out to be a contract, which required me to agree to lots of terms, which were outlined in separate handbooks and documents I was not provided. And the contract stated these documents were available to me on the company intranet site. When I asked the corp liaison for the link to these documents or copies of them, they told me I could not get on the intranet site until I had accepted the terms of the contract. I pushed back and was then told that these docs were too large to email and I would need to get them from the local company. I did, finally after a week of back and forth. After reading the docs they provided me (but not all of them, they only allowed me to see some of them), I sent an email to the local chapter to negotiate the terms of the contract. I never received a response. To follow up emails and phone calls either. No response. Finally, several weeks later, I got a conference call from corporate on speaker phone telling me they had decided to "move in another direction." Just ridiculous. I would NEVER work for such a company.

I applied online. I interviewed at Service Corporation International (Rochester, PA) in Mar 2020
Interview
First was a phone screen with the manager. After that I was invited for an interview. Normally I would have met the Family Services Manager but she had a medical issue so I met with the General Manager who was awesome! He gave me an overview of the position and business in general. He's been in the business for over 40 years and loves the company. The next week I met with the Manager and she has been in the business for over a decade. That spoke volumes to me. Both were compassionate and caring individuals. She offered me the position at the interview and I accepted. After that I waited a few days to set up the drug test and background check and will start the following week..
