      Loan Collector Interview

      May 7, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Rolling Meadows, IL
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BMO US (Rolling Meadows, IL) in May 2013

      Interview

      I attended a job fair at BMO's new building in Naperville, IL off of I-88. After talking with several hiring managers in various departments, I finally talked to someone in Collections who wanted me to schedule a formal interview for the position of Loan Collector. I met with someone from HR who scheduled me to meet with the hiring managers in the office in Rolling Meadows. I interviewed with 2 managers who were both asking me questions. Their questions were fine--nothing you wouldn't expect in an interview. Soon, we came to "So what questions do you have for us?" That's when I started to doubt that this was a good fit for me. I asked them "What is the culture like? Is it a fun place to work?" The answer I got was not convincing. It was almost like they were trying too hard like, "It's REALLY fun. No, I swear. People LOVE it here." I'm not buying it. When I asked if I could spend a few moments out on the sales floor to see what the work environment is like, they politely declined, saying that my request wouldn't be possible. Well now I'm definitely uncomfortable. It's like they didn't want me to know what I'd be doing. Sorry, I'm not going to leave my current full-time job unless I know what I'm getting myself into. A few days later, I got a call with a job offer. I declined. They spooked me.
