The Fountains of Melbourne Reviews
Rashard
Like to start off by saying this is a very poorly run establishment The Fountain of Melbourne HR department show many signs of non professionalism. I've been offered the offer letter have done my drug screen and also done my physical that was required of me .the only thing that was left of me to do was fingerprints .I waited a week and couples of days for someone text me to do a fingerprint no follow call and none from the mr.Rosado.it took me to go in an turn in an application which I already filled out previously, to then be told to give rosado a call .Rosado ends up calling ,an hes acting as if I went missing .hey we I've been "trying " to get in contact with you .I look through my phone no missed calls that whole day .just a text I miss to do fingerprint a week an a half in .it was a 24 hours in when I seen that text .an he said we didn't think you were interested any more . remember they didn't even call my phone . How can someone not be interested but then do the medical drug screening everything that is needed I missed a text that was a duration of 24 hours and was told that they thought I wasn't interested they wasted my time my energy my gas just a not even call me back just a send a text to say we're not interested anymore. the hr lacks professionalism and it should be heard. i also didn't get a warm welcome from the maintenance guys there also .Im very disappointed with the experience and how it was handled.
