Basically, they only do some decorating around the holidays.
I personally interviewed for a sales position at a subsidiary of X Elephant.
They said I would be responsible for selling crabs. The manager seemed pretty good overall!
But their HR was truly awful.
They had no ability or experience, were disrespectful, and thought they were being funny.
They didn't trust the salary information provided by job applicants and required a salary statement (even though I hadn't started working there yet).
They actually called to verify my employment at my previous company. (They only did this a month later, and asked my former employer, who then found out that I had interviewed at Wen X. Although I know it wasn't a big deal, it felt really unpleasant.)
Then the next day, they sent an email declining my application. Ridiculous!
If you go for an interview, you'd better always be prepared to push back against HR's attitude
(provided, of course, that you aren't willing to accept the job).
