Call for job and 'extended hours'

[Dave Bour]

I've blown off a lot of those by putting my expectations at the inital discussion.  The hours of those jobs don't bother me as that's almost standard today it seems.  At least they're up front about it.

Subject: [TLUG]: Call for job and 'extended hours'

I just had a call with an HR person from a company downtown who's name
starts with water.  The incumbent for said position is expected to work
the 'extended hours' 50 per week without overtime.  They would not even
tell me the compensation range.  When I mentioned that the position
might require two people instead the person on the phone seemed to think
that the position was reasonable as is.  I know that I applied for this
position in the beginning of April.  I can't help but think it is taking
them so long due to the excessive hours turning people off.

Has anyone else had dealings with this company?  What is with this habit
many companies have to not tell a salary range until the interview?
Wouldn't it save both the company and the candidate time if they knew
this before hand?
