This interview process took about 6 months, which is a long time. You'd hear back from them and think things were going well, but then they'd ghost you for about a month to a month and a half. Then, they'd let you know you made it to the next round. It would be the same kind of interview, but with a different person. After that, they'd ghost you again, this time for two to three months. Eventually, you'd find out if you got the job, but the whole thing took around 6 months.

The interviewer introduced himself and explained his role and tenure at the company. He then clarified the position I applied for, being upfront about its realities which I appreciated. We had a brief chat since we knew each other from my previous work at Walmart. He asked me to discuss my resume's work experience, emphasizing my attention to detail. He gave me two documents: one detailing job requirements, schedule, pay, potential bonuses, and a wage breakdown, and another outlining benefits like insurance and company programs. The questions were situational and behavioral, which I found easy to answer given my extensive background as an Assistant Manager at Walmart for nearly ten years and my experience managing two Papa John's restaurants prior to that. The key is to be specific in your answers, detailing your own actions rather than what others advised. It's about selling yourself! I'm expecting an offer by the end of the week via email or phone.
