Just finished up a zoom interview with Sage Society over in West LA.

I explained that my goal was to move to a more logistics/operational adjacent position, understanding that I’d potentially have to work my way up the chain to achieve that (My current experience is logistical/inventory related).

The interviewer spent a good amount of time informing me that warehouse workers don’t move up the chain to office positions. That I would need firsthand product knowledge, and logistical experience to do so (Which you’d think you’d be able to accumulate within this role right?)

When asked about benefits, she let me know they offer five holidays off per year, and they offer a potential annual bonus based off your performance. Pretty sweet deal huh?

I pushed the benefits question further and asked about health insurance. I was told “We’re looking to offer that in the future. Typically warehouse workers don’t go for health insurance since it takes money out of their paycheck.”

Apparently this company has nothing to offer, and even less to strive for. Towards the end, she asks “Is this still an opportunity you’re looking to pursue?” So I answer honestly and say, “No, but thank you for the opportunity to interview.”

Her reponse? “Well if you didn’t want the job you shouldn’t have taken the interview” with a chuckle. I just finished it off with “Well I wouldn’t have known the details of the job if I didn’t take the interview right? Have a good evening.”

Overall, I guess I’m grateful that I didn’t interview in person, or even get hired by this company. Maybe I’m just peeved about that last sentence from the interviewer.

Anyways, be wary of this company if you’re looking for the opportunity to grow, or any sort of health insurance as a warehouse associate.
