      Associate Manager Interview

      Mar 13, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Columbus, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Columbus, GA) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      The interview went quite well actually. After speaking with the talent acquisitioner, he was impressed enough to set up an interview with the DM. To my surprise, I was invited to one of the busiest stores in the district. I believe this is a tactic to observe your body language during the lunch rush. The GM was pleasant, yet not easily impressed. He barely smiled but my experience and answers were enough to offer me a position.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Spring Hill, FL) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      Very thorough interview. The initial interview was a phone interview with the recruiter. The second interview was with the district manager. It was a 2 hour interview ending with a tour of the restaurant. The 3rd and final interview was with the GM of the location in need. It was a great experience. They were very specific with their expectations and needs. Overall very please.

      Associate Manager Interview

      Perrysburg, OH
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Perrysburg, OH) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      Applied online. I am an internal promotion so the process is slightly different than an external hire. I was interviewed through Montage/webcam. Then they send an assessment test to determine your leadership style. Timed test. If you are willing to relocate you can go to home office training immediately. Otherwise you wait for an open position in your area. When they have a need for you they send you to home office for training.
