The team was very nice and welcoming. They were quick to respond to my application and get back to me after the interview. I was interviewing for the store manager position with the district manager and several of the franchise owners. I liked being able to meet so many supervisors at once. When I got the job I was able to quickly put a face to the name. And it showed that the company was very invested in knowing their teams.
