I applied online. I interviewed at AutoZone (San Bernardino, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
Went in, briefed on employee expectations and work environment, was told that I’ll most likely receive offer through email. Completed everything and started onboard training within a week. The store was actively hiring and I had a background in sales/retail, but I’m sure many people were being hired. I literally didn’t need to answer anything about my experience or why I’d be a good fit or anything like that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked my availability and if I’m okay working with their specific rules and management (which were pretty common among all retail stores)
Very straightforward interview. Was taken to a seperate area around the back of the store with a table and chairs for the interview. Asked about vehicle knowledge, sales and cashiering experience. Was given the job on the spot with adequate training afterwards.

Question 1
Do you have experience multitasking dealing with customers and answering phones, stocking, etc.
Very easy not hard. I suggest talking with the district manager to get a job or a manager which are the ones with a Grey shirts. Overall not challenging. I think the turnover rate is high at this job though
Straight forward. Nice people. Created an easy listening atmosphere. Interview was conducted by HR and a store manager. No trick questions. At the end it didn’t work out for better fits from their end. No hard feelings.
