After you drop off your application, a manager will typically do a quick interview with 3-5 questions, kind of like a phone screen. If that goes well, you'll get set up for a main interview with the hiring manager for that location.

The interview was pretty straightforward, though they did ask some questions that felt a bit out of left field and not really relevant. The company itself felt a bit disorganized and short-staffed, like they were really trying to hire for a bunch of different roles all at once. All in all though, it was an okay interview experience.

  • Could you tell me about your greatest strength?

The interview felt appropriate for the job, and it was a friendly atmosphere where I could ask questions and answer confidently. The most difficult part was having to create an online profile before even going to the interview. I had to upload photos and videos, complete surveys, and do much more than I was comfortable with for a low-paying part-time job, especially before an interview was even set up.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you discuss your past work experience and how it applies to the role?
  • What is your approach to resolving workplace conflicts?

Behavioral Technical

I applied online and a few days later a recruiter called me. She wanted to set up a phone interview. She was energetic and the call lasted about ten minutes. She mentioned the pay would start at $10/hr and increase over time. She also asked about my availability. She seemed impressed with my answers and said I would move on to the next round. The next step was a Facetime call with a manager in Utah the very next day. The Utah manager asked about my availability and the same questions the recruiter did, so I gave similar answers. Apparently, the manager was not impressed, and I didn't get the job. It's confusing because the recruiter liked my answers but the manager didn't; there seems to be some inconsistency.
