I arrived ten minutes before my interview and they called me back right on time. They were really interested in my type of personality and if I could work flexible hours. They also asked about why I wanted the position and what pay rate I expected. Great benefits.

The interview was really fast, simple, and no hassle. They asked me some stuff about my past work, when I can work, and how I deal with customers who aren't happy. I just told them the truth, keeping it short and to the point.

I had a nice interview with standard questions. Then got a call a few days telling me I was offered the job. Was told to call them the next day to confirm availability which I did but no response. Left a voicemail and text. No response. Then got a rejection email more than a week later. Unprofessional.
