The interview process started with a recruiter/HR chat, followed by meetings with managers. There was also a short test they sent over. Everyone I talked to was really nice and kept the vibe positive!

I got an email for a phone screener, but then they ghosted me, not returning any emails or calls. About a month later, someone else emailed to reject my application. It felt unprofessional or unorganized.

It was very casual. I just walked in off the street into one of the showrooms. The manager interviewed me right on the spot and hired me. I was one of only a few people who was hired, not already knowing someone who worked there. A few days later, their HR department up in PA called me to sort everything out, and I was technically hired part-time, but after 2 weeks they offered me full-time.
