Be careful buying from them. They showed their sales teams true colors. I Interviewed for an inside sales position at Hibu in Cedar Rapids, IA a few years ago. Left the interview shaking and in tears. The interviewer asked me questions about sales experience and I didn't have anything except selling ad space for the year book in high school. They asked me questions about that and the friend I went business to business selling with and my morals ie. Would you throw that friends under the bus or take something away from them just to get ahead of them in sales type questions. Basically all along those lines and I answered no, I wouldn't purposely hurt anyone and believe in teamwork to achieve goals. Wrong answer. They said they needed someone with that drive to get ahead and do anything to come up on top. Ok. Guess my morals were to good to work there in hard sales. They wanted more cut throat willing to do anything to make a buck for themselves type people. They could have just ended the interview there but they wanted to prove a point to me. The end of the interview they asked me if I had any kids and I answered I had a 2 year old boy. Then they asked if he's gravitated to anything and I answered he loves to play with balls . They went into a speech about how people are predisposed to do certain things and since my toddler is obsessed with balls he will be good at sports and not the arts and tied that to how im not predisposed to work there after years of bartending and cahsiering, I'm a customer service person. Apparently what you like when youre as young as 2 and what you choose to do for your first jobs after graduating decide your whole future and you cant change. What they didn't know was a couple weeks before that my son was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome. He will never be able to play sports or even catch with other kids because getting hit in the chest can cause an Aortic Aneurysm. He will never be able to run the way kids in sports do because it would collapse a lung. He will never never able to play a wind instrument due the risk of collapsing a lung. He can't even drink caffeinated drinks or high sodium items because it could cause an anuerysm or other heart complications. His lenses in his eyes are detached and when he's older he will need surgery to replace them and may even need a heart transplant by his teens. Asking me about kids before ending the job interview then telling me because my 2 year old likes to roll balls his future is already set and that's what he's predisposed to do and won't have what it takes to do anything else with his life was completely inappropriate...even if they didn't know about his condition that would literally kill him if he did what they say he's meant to do... was so inappropriate. I saw red and was shaking. They ended that speech by saying "at least you know leaving here your not cut out for this and don't have to waste time waiting for a call from us" with a polite smile like they actually helped me by doing that. I'd have rather just been flat out told I'm not a good fit or hell even just sent on my way and not called. The only reason to do that was to get off on knocking my low class retail self down a peg and prove/brag about what (cut throat) born to sell people their sales team was. To this day I still preach against that company and see red every time. If that's how they act in an interview and openly admit to looking for slimy people that will hurt others to get commissions imagine what they are willing to do to customers. I did go on to get my insurance license and other sales positions and put my resume online and I still get indeed messages saying they are impressed with my sales resume and I'd be a good fit and that they'd like to bring me in for an interview so apparently they don't remember green to the scene me trying to get my first sales job or pay attention to who they send generic messages to, but I sure remember them like it was yesterday.
