Thank you for your feedback. We strive to ensure that every candidate is treated equitably, respectfully and is updated in a timely manner. Your experience tells us that we missed this goal and for that we apologize. The Associate position is a role that we frequently hire. Often candidates that are not selected for one opening are moved to the next opening and selected then. That said, our team can do a better job in updating candidates so that they know they are still being considered. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. It is your feedback that will help our team fine tune this process. We wish you all the best in your search and great success in your career.
