Well, I filled out the application online it took about 1 hour to fill out the application and the required (weird) quiz which was fine. Moments after I received an email saying that they have received my application and will review it. Before I can even finish reading the email, another one from ross comes in. This email says that I am currently not the correct fit for that role, which according to the parameters that they set I thought I was, and they would keep my application on file for future roles. Well, this experience with an automated artificial intelligence review of my application was, in my opinion negative, I don't mind if they don't want to hire me because they don't like my personality or I am not a good fit for that store or whatever the case may be, but the fact that I don't even get a phone call from a human saying sorry but no is simply rude and a waste of everyone's time.

If you came across someone who was stealing merchandise how would you handle it
Very awkward over all, they kept trying to 'trick' me by changing up certain words and seeing if id catch the change in the question. Also put you on some super old school website training.
