It is a good Belgian company, one of the leading international brands. The location is good and the people there are very gentlemanly. Experience is a must, as is customer interaction. This company will grow very fast as an international brand soon.

I put in my application online and then got a call from the store manager about a week after. I got to the interview spot about 20 minutes before the scheduled time. The interview was pretty chill; the manager mostly asked about my past jobs and how long I'd be willing to work there if they hired me. After we finished, the manager said she'd give me a call if she was interested, and sure enough, I got a job offer call 3 days later. The issue came up because Kipling uses a third party for background checks, and I couldn't access the website to give my consent. A whole month passed with the manager telling me it would get sorted, but I eventually figured out they weren't really working on fixing it. The whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth because they didn't seem to care about wasting my time. After waiting a month, I kept trying to reach the manager and left messages asking to pick up my ID and SSN copies, but they'd always say 'The manager isn't here, I'll take a message' or 'Call tomorrow,' but she was never available.
