I had one video interview for the visual merchandiser role. Scheduling was a bit messy over the phone; we set a time but I didn't get a Zoom link, so I called the day before to confirm. Turns out it wasn't scheduled right, so I would have missed it if I hadn't called. I didn't get the link until just before the interview, but it worked out okay. A confirmation email would have been nice though. The interview itself was pretty standard for retail, and the manager was easy to talk to. I thought the job would involve creative window displays and product placement, but the interview clarified it's mainly manual execution of corporate directives. They also mentioned it's part-time, and to get closer to full-time hours, I'd need to also work as a sales associate, maxing out at 30 hours/week. The pay discussion was odd. When I said I hoped for $18/hour, she said $18 was the max for sales associates, so they'd start me at $17 to allow for future raises, framing it as a benefit. While I get not starting at the top rate, phrasing it like a favor felt strange and made me think there might be a lot of corporate jargon and a lack of straightforwardness. It's probably fine for just any retail job, but feels like a typical corporate retail environment.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
My first interview was with the store manager. Then, they had me come back the next day to interview with the director. He mentioned he'd make a decision in 2-3 days but I never heard back. All it really takes is a quick phone call. If they want people to keep loving the brand, they should at least close the interview process with a thank you note.
