      Average interview

      Applied online, HR sent email and scheduled interview. Directly interview to the director and my boss, overall great experience. The hard part is ask about 5 references and I only have 3, the reference person need to write comments, ask HR again and they are ok.

      Associate Interview

      Oct 1, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Minneapolis, MN
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      This was going to be my 4th year as a Seasonal employee at WS. Loved the Manager, I asked about how WS is protecting its employees during COVID and he gave all the right answers. When talking about hours he said he was going to put me in the 1-15 hours a week slot. Of course I could get as many hours as I wanted. When interview was complete I asked when I could start with the employee discount as that is a big draw to working seasonally at WS. He said one week but that because I was only in the 0-15 hour work slot I would not be able to utilize the online WS discount. So I asked him to increase my hour slot and he said he could not. He was under corporate orders to only put seasonal employees in the lower slot this year. But that I could work as many hours as I want. What the heck WS?
