I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Burlington Stores in Jun 2009
Interview
Applied online, got phone call from HR department of company, set up interview for the following week, arrived 10 minutes early, met with the District Manager, talked about the company culture, promotional opportunities, my prior experience and why I felt I could contribute to the company. Talked about my long career in the industry, asked a lot of questions about the company and why was the position being filled. Wanted to know why the previous manager left the company. Asked about work/life balance. Basically in retail, there is no balance. You're expected to do whatever it takes to get the job done. There's no such thing as going home after 8 hours. A minimum of 50 hours a week is the norm.
Cold called by a recruiter for a screening. It’s an urgent need. Needed me to interview with the DM that afternoon. Asked my pay range -
Said it would be difficult to say without understanding the job but it would be 80k+. Interviewed with DM that afternoon.
Set up an interview with the RVP the following Monday. He couldn’t join because of technical issues. Reset for the next morning. RVP, HR, and DM join. HR is driving and on camera and looking at the phone while moving. Geez.
Did the interview. They like me. Told the 95k - reasonable after visiting the stores in my area, the amount of time their DMs work, and the expensiveness of their benefits. That was too much, I guess.
I am guessing as I was ghosted after that interview even after follow up with the DM. Pretty unprofessional when I made time for 4 interview across 3 business days.
Additionally, everyone seemed by the seat of their pants, late for everything, took follow up to get benefit information from the recruiter. It was job just to get interviewed with them.
The entire process was unorganized, it felt as if there is a lack of communication with all levels during the process . Makes you wonder how they would let their team and stores manage they way the do
