Premier Roofing interview questions

I came across the position on a popular job board, and I sent in my resume. I was contacted by the national recruiter via email and asked when I would be available for a phone interview. I gave her the times that would work, and I did not hear back from her until the day she wanted to do the interview. On the day of the interview, I got the following email: "I am going to call you now, please call me at XXX-XXX-XXXX." I was confused on whether I was supposed to call or if she was going to call. Fortunately, I had another appointment that was getting ready to start, and I told her that I could do a call approximately 45 minutes later. her response was: "10 works great. I will call you, what is the best number?" I gave her my number, did my other appointment, and then waited for the call. At 10:24, I got the promised call. Not too impressive in my book. I mentioned that I was talking to my advisor at school when she called. She seemed immediately concerned because this position was, as she described a "10am until past dark" position, weekends required, and your day off was to be Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. The schedule is dictated, it seems, but, I was also told this was a 1099 position that was full commission. That sent red flags up. I would need to provide my own equipment for getting on roofs to inspect, my own vehicle, and, though this is not stated, as a 1099 position, my own liability insurnace in case I got hurt on the job. Because the sales team is smaller, there are proprietary territories and the company has a great reputation so it should be a pretty easyt sell.Those who are better at the job make between 90-120k/year. These were small benefits compared to the risks that I would have as a 1099 contractor. It may be a good position for some, but not for me. I told her this, and cut the interview off before an offer could have been extended.

I saw the job posted online and submitted my resume. I got called by HR and did a quick phone interview when she called. We scheduled an in-person interview with one of the company owners for the next day. He was well prepared with what the job would entail and asked great questions. He asked me to come back the next day to meet with the other company owner. A totally different vibe on that interview, but equally good. The final step was an in-person meeting with the HR woman who asked for references at the end of that interview. I got a phone call to offer me the job and I asked quite a few questions which were all answered in that phone call.
