There were 5 interviews in total. The first one was a phone interview. There was also a peer interview and an interview with a credit manager. The people were mostly friendly, depending on the location. Some locations are great, while others are full of sarcastic, unfriendly, and unhappy people. This seems to be more common in locations that were acquired.
