I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Discount Tire (Grand Rapids, MI) in Apr 2015
Interview
The interview was pretty short and sweet for me as I have family that works for the company, and have been there for a while. The store manager will sit you down in the office and talk to you.
I had a flat tire that I got fixed as an appt. I sparked a conversation and hit it off with the local manager, who referred me to a higher-volume store. That was my informal interview, and the second interview was about a week later. They were conversational interviews, and I answered too excitedly, I think. This is one of those companies I've always wanted to work for since I always get excited about the process and ownership of new traction. I checked in, but they never called me back. I was ghosted.
Questions about knowledge on tires and my experience, willingness to do what I needed, and what I knew. Including information about me, and how I work in a team. Very helpful and interesting.
They made me wait for like 20 minutes and i went in a room and the manager(i think) interviewed me. They just described what was it like working for discount tire.
