It was a straightforward and pleasant interview process. I got a clear understanding of my responsibilities and what was not expected. I really enjoyed the tour and was pleased to realize that with a few weeks of focused effort, I could bring the store up to a good standard.

I interviewed through a job fair for a new store. They said all positions were filled, but there was a chance of internal transfers and that I might still get hired. They made me take a personality test that I thought was very misleading. It gave situations and asked what motivated the employee. I answered based on my 10+ years of management experience and what I thought motivated my employees. I didn't realize it was supposed to figure out what would motivate me. Tests like these should consider experienced managers. The computer said I wasn't a match, though the interviewer was disappointed and wanted me to reapply in 6 months.

I first met with the GM, and they told me the DM would reach out for a second interview. About 2.5 months later, I got a voicemail trying to schedule that second interview. They apologized for the long delay and said it was a clerical error. By then, I had already accepted and started a job with Family Dollar, so I obviously didn't go to the second interview.
