Host Interview

Oct 24, 2016

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Negative experience

Average interview

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Red Robin (Factoria, WA) in Sep 2013

Interview

Took several weeks of interviews. In second interview, manager started inventory minutes before our time was supposed to start, so I had to wait an hour for him to finish. It should also be noted that management was undergoing a significant change in personnel, and this likely influenced the time it took from first interaction to getting hired. However, this is no excuse for having a potential employee wait an hour for an agreed upon interview time.

For the first interview I came in, and waited at a table in an empty section for the manager. Depending on what you apply for you meet with a certain manager. As a FOH position I met with the service manager. Then for my second interview I met with the general manager, in the same context.
