I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cook Out (Augusta, GA) in May 2013
Interview
Several of us were called, seemly at random, to interview for a Management position of which none of us had even applied (they saw resume online).
Most were there were nicely dressed and waited at a hotel for the hiring person to show up.
He arrived 15 minutes late and looked as if he parked his horse out in the back. We were subjected to a group interview then where details of the company were disclosed.
After 30 minute unrehearsed presentation about the company we we interview for about five minutes each. I presented a very professional resume, followed by a thank you note only to see the job posted again a week later. I called it to there attention and the ad was pulled. I then contacted the EEOC since my qualification were well beyond advertised qualification and average age of managers for the company is under 35.

None quickly looks over resume ask very few question and then ask if you have any. I had several but him seemed rushed so I asked a few and thanked him for his time.

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!
