The initial interview is basic, and everything looks perfect and fancy when they bring you in. They ask really good questions, and it's a great job in a CM career. Just ask them where they are considering sending you and if you can negotiate that as best you can. There are multiple interviews, and the process takes a while, honestly. It's stressful because you invest so much time talking to all these people, and you don't know if you'll get the job until they call you like weeks later.

The hiring manager, an OM, hired me directly. Based on what I've heard, the process typically involves three steps, concluding with an interview with the operations manager and district manager at the regional office. I was hired at the end of my internship, where I was a temp intern.
