The training I received wasn't what was advertised during the interview. I was promised eight weeks of training at another store, but I only got seven business days before being put in charge. The assistant managers there, who had been waiting years for a promotion, acted like they knew everything about the brand. As you can imagine, they weren't very helpful or supportive because they were resentful.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • The interview was pretty straightforward.
  • This might be because I've been through many interviews from both sides over the years.

The recruiter contacted me 3 times before the interview, which was nice, but I felt like I was repeating info. Even after not getting the job, they contacted me 2 more times for the same position. The interviewer was nice but took notes the whole time and didn't make eye contact.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • How would you go about motivating your staff?
  • What operational changes would you implement in this store?
