      Route Manager Interview

      20 Oct 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I interviewed at WM

      Interview

      Applied on a Friday and received a phone call that following Monday for a phone interview. Got called back that same day to setup an in person. Interview with district operations manager and senior route manager, both very nice guys. Told during that interview I was moving onto 2nd interview, which I did. 2nd interview was with district operations manager, manager of district operations, and hiring manager. Interview went very well, don't think the manager of district operations liked my background. It's been about a week and haven't heard anything, which I assume I didn't receive the job. Not an overall bad process, just wish they would tell you one way or the other. The one thing that has me worried is that there are 2 openings for route managers. The former residential route manager I saw went to another waste company, something doesn't add up as to why 2 people left at the same time commercial and residential. The interview process was a little difficult but the interviewers were very professional and would try again if the opportunity presents itself.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WM (Arizona City, AZ) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Very professional. Conducted interview over phone with its recruiter, and a few days later we had the first formal interview. Was told to expect a hour, but it was right around 30 minutes. Gave me time to ask questions at the end and provided me with a couple leadership books to read to prep for the role, if hired.
