Entrevista
I applied thru the Sherwin Williams website. A few days later I got a text from a recruiter asking my availability to speak the next day. The phone call lasted less than 30 minutes, it felt like it was basically a screening call to make sure you're a good fit. She asked what I like to do outside of work, if I can lift up to 50 lbs, what I do at my current job, what my greatest strength is, if I'm willing to relocate.
The next week I had an interview with a different recruiter. She asked me to tell her about myself, what I knew about SW and why I felt like I would be a good fit there, asked about a time I had to deal with a difficult customer, what would make me standout among other candidates, and maybe one other STAR question. She then gave me the info to schedule my store visit the next week.
Store visit went well and now I have my final interview with the DM next week. Have not received an offer yet, but will update later.

Entrevista
Showed up 10 minutes before the interview time only to be told the manager I had my appointment with had gone out to lunch (10 AM). It was a training store so I imagine this manager has many people come through his store so after they told me to come back in an hour I simply went home and told the recruiter what happened. It was a huge red flag and I knew this was not the company for me.

The screening interview was situational, not bad at all, standard "do you have any work experience to link to this" kinds of questions. Second was an in-store walkthrough, the particular manager I got was a good guy and had very little issue describing exactly what the day-to-day around there was like, didn't try to "sell the corporate dream" like HR professionals will. Third interview (final) was where the problem lied. Hiring manager there gave off sociopathic vibes, and I was more or less given a standard interview, but either they had already made a decision on a prior interview or just really couldn't handle basic human interaction. Very impersonal and robotic from the moment I got past the receptionist. The main problem with their interview system is that the first two interviews really don't matter. The last one with the hiring manager holds all the weight, and they will string you along until this point. I heard this complaint around the internet while I was interviewing here, and I can confirm its authenticity. Overall, interview here if you like, but don't trust that positive vibes from the beginning will mean local corporate will care about your time invested in interviewing there. They can and will dismiss you in half an hour of interviewing after you've put in ~2 hours 15 in prior interviews, one requiring travel.
