The interviewer, who was the GM of the Ventura, Ca store, arrived an hour late for the interview. I learned from construction workers that he had been over 30 minutes late for all interviews the day before. He offered a brief, casual apology. During the interview, he remarked that "timeliness is important," which seemed hypocritical given his tardiness, as if only his time mattered.

I applied on their website and a few days later I was asked to schedule an interview. When I arrived for the interview, the hiring manager wasn't there, so I had to reschedule for a few days later. When I arrived for the rescheduled interview, the hiring manager was again not present. It was super frustrating because they didn't let me know I needed to change my interview times until after it was supposed to have already happened.
