The interview process was easy and conversational, designed to gauge my fit with Heinens philosophy and mystique. However, I was surprised by the job duties, as they weren't fully explained upfront. I ended up having to clean bathrooms, mop floors, and push carts in addition to cashier duties.

The interview process was welcoming and informative, and I didn't feel nervous at all because everyone was super nice. Just remember customer service, customer service, customer service! It's a family-oriented company. I would work here again if needed.

They asked me to create and present a marketing plan, including website recommendations and a full blog post. This would have involved visiting two of their stores. I felt this was a big waste of time, especially since I have a portfolio with similar work from previous jobs. It felt like unprofessional free work. I've seen a lot of their job postings lately, which makes me think they have trouble keeping people.
