      Crew Member Interview

      Jul 30, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Murfreesboro, TN
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sonic (Murfreesboro, TN) in May 2011

      Interview

      I received a call from the owner of Sonic and he set-up an interview for the following week. I was on-time, if not early, but had to wait at least ten minutes. I was taken back into the break room and he began the interview questions. He read the questions deadpan, verbatim from the packet. Each question was ridiculous and pointless. i answered each question as best as I could to a very unenthusiastic interviewer with crazy questions. He went on to detail every aspect of the job, salary, dress code, price of uniform shirt, rules and regulations, what I would need to bring to be hired, etc, just as a manager who was hiring you would. He told me to call back within a couple of days to work out my schedule. I called, expecting to be put on the schedule and figuring that I'm hired, only to hear that I should call back the following week. Again, I called and was told that I was not hired and he would be going in another direction. I just don't feel that I was treated fairly. He made every indication that I was hired, only to wait two weeks to tell me I was "not what Sonic was looking for at the moment." Were they looking for a blonde?
