Group Behavioral
Had a surprise group interview in the middle of the store, not one-on-one. They asked me to prepare an answer to a question via email beforehand but then didn't ask it. Expectations are very high for sales goals, clientelling, and being willing to do everything else in the store. Requires weekend closes, and there's no commission. They advertised up to $24/hr on the job listing but could only offer minimum wage. Total waste of time.
