The interview process at La-Z-Boy had two steps, which I liked because it gave a good sense of the job and the company culture. But, some questions were repeated in both stages. It could be better if they made it clearer what each stage was for—like one for fitting in with the company and another for job skills—to make it quicker and more interesting for people applying. Still, the interviewers were really professional and nice, which shows La-Z-Boy has a good team.

Behavioral Case

Applied via Indeed, got contacted by an associate a couple weeks later to set up an interview. Responded and set it up, but then the manager called and said we'd have to reschedule since he wasn't free. Then the associate contacted me again saying the manager wasn't available and I needed to reschedule. This showed disorganization. As suggested on Indeed, I showed up 20 minutes early and was ready. Only the manager was there, plus some customers. I waited almost 30 minutes past my interview time, even though I was early. I looked around the showroom while the manager helped customers, until he came over and said, 'if you waited this long, you're hired!' He then admitted he didn't have my resume, though I sent it with my application and via email. I explained my background and work history and answered some basic questions. He asked about reliable transportation, which I confirmed and said I lived close. Then he asked if I owned a car, which was odd for an in-store role. His attitude changed and he said, 'well, I only really needed to hire him' (pointing to another associate), 'but I wanted to see who could pull more sales. If you make enough sales, you could take my spot as store manager.' It felt weird advertising the job to me like that. The interview ended with him giving me his card and telling me to email my resume. I did and followed up, but never heard back. Ghosted. The whole experience was bad, and the interview was tough because they were unprepared and unprofessional. If the interview was this disorganized, I can't imagine working there.

It was a warm and welcoming experience even with three managers interviewing me at the same time. They were nice and open to answering any questions I had. They were very informative about their needs and expectations.
