      Department Manager Interview

      Apr 3, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Office Depot (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      Store Manager, District Manager, Other Store Manager. Excessive due diligence for a 10 / hour job, bordering on ridiculous. The interviewers were polite and professional but failed to follow-up when the position was filled internally. Nobody likes to be left hanging.

      Standard process no real curve balls. If you have been through even a couple of interviews then you will do just fine. I don't know what else to add. Good luck and take a deep breath.

      Department Manager Interview

      Jul 20, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Montgomery, AL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Office Depot (Montgomery, AL) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      You apply online to their website and then submit to a People Answers assessment. If selected you are generally called in for a first interview with the management team. Afterwards, if you pass that particular phase, you will be asked to return for a second interview and possibly a third with the store manager. Considering that the position is managerial in nature, often times a District Manager may also conduct and additional interview. Assuming that you pass those interviews, you will be given a background check and the offer will be contingent upon you passing the background check.

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Coral Springs, FL
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Office Depot (Coral Springs, FL) in May 2015

      Interview

      This was pretty informal. Interviewed with Assistant manager and then with Manger. I had a resume with me and we covered the high points, I pointed out how my experience could help him. I got very positive feedback but ultimately couldn't agree on money.
