I applied through other source. I interviewed at Reid Petroleum
Interview
Both my friend and I applied for the same job, one through a job hire site and I did it through their website. Neither of us heard anything so be both tried following up. Silence, no call backs, no responses to emails. Two months later I get an email that the position was filled. But you can check the status of your application and it says that neither of our applications had been viewed. I applied for another opening and it was an identical process. No one even looked at our stuff and calls to the company and emails were unanswered.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Reid Petroleum (Lockport, NY) in Jan 2023
Interview
I had to reschedule the interview because of a death in my family, after they rescheduled my interview once already. They never even bothered to offer condolences for the death in my family. Which is weird, considering how much they push the narrative that they are a “Family Company”. First they start off with a 50 question test to make sure you can do basic math, then a psychological profile test to see if you’re honest. Then the interview process is very unprofessional. Nothing but vague information given, and they test to see how much you’re willing to put up with for a bait and switch offer. They advertised pay of $45k/yr and then tried to offer a lowball offer of $35k. Several red flags throughout the process- 1. No professional or personal courtesy. If an employer knows you have had a tragedy occur and they don’t even have the courtesy to offer condolences during the interview process, they’re not going to be kind when your son or daughter dies, or your spouse, or parents. 2. Bait and Switch hiring - Treating people like a worm or fish on the end of a hook is not “Family Values”. 3. When you advertise a job opening and you can’t describe the job duties or compensation, you’re not really hiring good candidates because you are not a good employer. 4. When other employees write that the company culture is bad, you know why they’re looking to fill a role, they’re not growing, they’re shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked if I knew that the conference table was made of hundred dollar bills and that they planned on burning it. Weird flex on someone looking for a job… am I supposed to be impressed with the money you have to burn that you could heat a building for a Fuel company?

Interview
Applied online and got called in for an interview within a few days. The interview was mostly basic questions about interactions with coworkers etc. The process wasn't very professional, the woman conducting the interview was friendly but kept making comments about employees.
