I met with a manager, who was very friendly, and he asked me about myself, what type of hours I was looking for, and whether or not I would also be interested in any other available positions. The interview itself was extremely fast, and he asked me all of two questions. He was very enthusiastic about my answers and told me that I would make a great addition to his store and that he would love to have me working there. He told me that the person who would be my team lead would be giving me a call in two days to follow up.
It has been three weeks since the interview, and no one ever followed up with me, despite me leaving messages. Bummer!

Very easy process. One of the better experiences I’ve had. A few standard interview questions were ask, but the rest was conversational for most part. Wasn’t stressful or anything like that.
