I applied for the Assistant Manager role and got contacted the very next day. By the end of my interview, I was offered a job as a Shift Supervisor, which is a lower position than the one I applied and interviewed for.

The interview process was lovely and very personable, feeling more like a conversation than a drill. They seemed genuinely interested in getting to know you. It's a really nice approach to people. Some questions were scripted, and some were off the cuff.
