      Cashier Interview

      Dec 30, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Stockton, CA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at El Pollo Loco (Stockton, CA) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      Had to wait a while to be interviewed took up my entire lunch break. The manager that interviewed was very nice but seemed a bit in a hurry. She told me what I needed to do very briefly and then sent me on my way to come back for a second interview. I was more confused after the interview then before I got there. Good thing I had a friend that worked there already and he showed me the ropes and how things ran there. I caught on in no time and was confident it doing my job thanks to a co-worker though not a manager.
