I applied online and was contacted within a week via phone to set up an interview with two managers at Wesco's Pittsburgh office. My first interview was with the Data Services manager. She was very friendly and provided a great overview as to what a typical day is like as a Data Specialist. She also mentioned some of the changes that were occurring, such as the department being two employees short (why the position was open), more streamlining and change in pay structure for the role. When it came time for me to ask questions, I was surprised and slightly disappointed with the responses. When I asked how the corporate culture was at Wesco, there was some slight hesitation. While she enjoyed working with her team, she did not seem to feel the same about other departments. This was somewhat of a red flag for me. I think it is safe to assume that anywhere you work, there will be some departments that may not get a long, but mentioning that in an interview says a lot. I also seemed to have caught her off guard by asking how Wesco differs from their competitors. While I do not expect employees to know everything about their competitors, it is important for them to know what makes their business better than others. There are just so many different aspects someone could talk about to answer that question and she had nothing at all to say. My second interview was with the Pricing Support manager. She seemed very rushed and uninterested in the interview before it really even began. She primarily asked behavioral questions (which were read off a list) to learn more about myself. Some of the questions on her list were: How well do you handle stress? What is something that bothers you about other co-workers? What do you look for in a leader? What is a weakness for you? She seemed to be satisfied with her experience and current role at Wesco. She also held a different view on the corporate culture saying most employees were young and the office was laid back. Both of them said that the Data Specialist position is a great way to gain experience and grow within Wesco. Additionally, when I asked the Pricing Support manager about professional development, she mentioned that they do have opportunities which even included Lean Certification. I was told that they would reach out to me by the end of the following week. Two weeks went by with no follow-up on their end and when I reached out to them I never received a reply.
