I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cook Out (Gaffney, SC) in May 2012
Interview
Mom and Pop operation and it showed. Two "interviews" 5 minutes each, two different HR Reps, both late for the appt with no apology, wearing jeans, loafers, no socks (not kidding!). After second "interview" was promised an offer within 7-10 days. 3 weeks later still no call. I called them after leaving 2 VM's requesting contact, was told that I would have received a call within a week if they were interested. Shoulda' know better; if HR doesn't have their stuff together, the company can't either. Amounted to a waste of time.

Group interview. Power point. Hype you up about pay and benefits/bonuses. I just interviewed there and was offered a position but I have been reading a lot of mixed reviews. Now I am nervous

Interview
I applied for GM Position which pays $75,000 - $100,000 when I get there they tell me they would only be hiring for Managers in Training and only pay $17 per hour..
Which is a major drop in Promised Pay.
The makes things worse they want me to pay for a Background Check. Very Dishonest Company! Don’t waste your time and please don’t waste your money!
