Interview
Interview process for the Oakdale location was very disorganized. Was told to be there at 9 am for interview and did not get interviewed until 11:30 am. I am a certified forklift operator with experience in lumber mill work. There was roughly 10 people that came in for interviews the same time. After my interview I was advised we would get an answer within 48 hours. Less than 2 hours after my interview I received an email saying I did not get the job but they did a in depth look into each candidate. I was the only there with any experience at all. They hired people with zero experience right out of high school. All in all a horrible interview process.

Interview
I would give the interview process zero stars. The hiring process was highly disorganized and a complete nightmare. I had to fly out of town for an in person interview. I was told before the interview through email that the hotel room and rental car was paid for and ready to go. This was not the case. I arrived to the town of the interview. Called the hotel I was suppose to stay at and they said there was no reservation under my name. Called the rental car company. Found out there was no rental car reservation. The rental car and hotel had to be paid for out of pocket.
The interview itself was dreadful. The hiring manager was unfriendly and edgy. He kept ruthlessly drilling me with behavior-based interview questions. I didn't get much sleep the night before due to the hotel and rental car dilemma. The hiring manager was unsympathetic about what happened the night before after telling him. Seems like I was secretly set up to fail the interview and thrown under the bus.

Asked to explain scenarios and how you would act if it happened. Seemed like behavioral-type questions. Asked about previous employments and classes that were taken in college. Later given a tour of the facility.
