It was an easy interview process. I felt pretty comfortable during the interview. The managers were on time and asked some great questions that really got the conversation going. The manager also took the time to give me a tour of the store, introduce me to the team, and show me how the store operates, just to make sure it was a place I would feel good working at.

The hiring manager made me feel comfortable during the interview process, which was quite simple. The questions asked were relatable. Lunch was offered by the manager after the questions. I think the process could be improved by asking tougher questions, but I understand that there needs to be a range for my position.
