The interview process went by really fast. The only hiccup was that the hiring manager didn't even know I had applied until I dropped in and chatted with them.

The interview process last year was bad. Communication was poor, the place was dirty, and the merchandise was messy. It's not just a cashier job; it involves unloading trucks and heavy lifting for very low pay. They treat employees poorly, and you can see it during the interview.

It was a pretty good interview process, really direct. The hiring manager was friendly and we chatted about what the job would entail, the working hours, and opportunities for advancement in the company. I also got to meet some of the team members.
