Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process was straightforward. They asked standard questions, and the team I spoke with was welcoming and put me at ease. You should be ready to discuss your experience and share specific examples of your achievements. Overall, it felt quite manageable.
After applying, I received a follow-up email to schedule a phone interview. If they liked me after the first interview, they'd have me speak with someone else. If I passed the second interview, I had to apply online and then meet in person.
I had 4 interviews total. It started with a talent scout phone call. Then I had a 1 on 1 interview with the store manager for the GM role. After that, I interviewed 1 on 1 with the Area GM. The final interview was a 1 on 1 with the District GM. All of this happened within two weeks and I'm now waiting for an offer.
