I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at McAlister's (Crestview Hills, KY) in Aug 2017
Interview
Very laid back, positive, fun. Felt like I was having a normal conversation instead of interviewing for a position. The manager and I connected as we had both previously worked for the same company prior to starting here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if a customer comes up to you and complains about the long wait time on their food?
The interview process was easy and casual. The manager was friendly and just asked a few questions about my availability, why I wanted to work there, and how I handle customers. It felt more like a conversation than a formal interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McAlister's (Topeka, KS) in Feb 2023
Interview
it was a fairly short process, only taking a few days to hear back after applying and then got hired on the spot. the interview was somewhat informal. not too intimidating and everyone was friendly. overall great process!
