I went into this interview process optimistic and well-prepared. I arrived early, in a brand-new suit, ready to share my skills and background. As a disabled veteran with brain cancer who has taught myself the stock market, I wanted to help people protect their investments. Initially, the team seemed impressed.
However, once I disclosed my disability and the need for reasonable accommodations, the tone shifted dramatically. By the next day, I was told I was “not what they were looking for” — despite never being asked real questions about my qualifications. I had to follow up myself, as they did not extend the courtesy of closing the loop.
I also asked about their lead generation process and how they operate, but my questions were brushed aside. For a company that promotes itself as a Christian organization, the lack of transparency, professionalism, and inclusivity was alarming.
If this is how they treat potential employees — dismissing qualified candidates once they disclose a disability — it raises serious concerns about their ethics as a business. If this is their standard internally, how do they treat their customers? My experience left me feeling discriminated against and questioning whether their practices align with the values they claim to uphold.
