Culver Careers

A great reason why I hate dealing with recruiters, they don’t care about you, only hitting their quota and getting their $. It doesn’t matter if you’re a fit or not. I’m contacted by one of their recruiters Brett Krystek to set up an interview with a company. Never had any contact with them, don’t know how they got my resume. Starts talking to me like we’ve been friends for years, and I agree to go on the interview that he wants to setup, figuring what do I have to lose, but also reluctantly.
The interview is a few days off, so in between I decided to go to some of their locations to observe operations and to see if I might be able to speak to some people in the position currently. After being able to visit 5 locations and speaking to 4 different people in the position I was going to be interviewing for and hearing nothing but negative information about moral, false promises, and inflated expectations, among other things I began to have reservations. Looking online, I noticed much of what I heard and saw was repeated in reviews nationwide by current and past employees.
At this point, I decided to cancel the interview noting that based on what I heard and saw that I didn’t think it was appropriate to continue in the process. He emails me back the next day criticizing me for canceling the interview and sarcastically wishing me ‘good luck’, and mocking me for canceling the interview for those reasons. I guess he wanted to go through with something I ultimately would’ve been miserable in, and believe nothing but positive things about the company. If first hand dialogue and observations from multiple sources can’t be used in developing an opinion about a company what can?
