Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cook Out (Tucker, GA) in Mar 2016

Interview

I printed out an app I took it in next day. When I walked it the guy who took my app said come back between 2-5. When I came back I was asked about my availability . that was the only thing he asked me. He said come back tomorrow at 2 with a background check and when I came back I was hired on spot. Easy but really confusing to why I wasn't asked many more

Interview

You call a number they have posted on craigslist . Send in your resume and they set you up for the interview. In which the guy shows up like an hour late without saying anything to anyone about it. After that we finally got started with his presentation that basically just went over the company information. Didn't get any information about the break down of the training pay or anything .
