Noodles & Company Retail Associate Interview Questions
& Process

It was a pretty chill interview, mostly just standard customer service stuff. The person interviewing me was super nice, though they did start a bit late. They asked really basic questions, and the whole thing was only about 15 minutes. After that, they gave me a quick tour and introduced me to a few different managers.

I got a call back from one of the locations I applied to within a week. When I went in for my first interview, I was asked basic interview questions and asked about prior work experience (was told that having no prior job experience is okay). I was also given a basic overview of what the job entailed, and told to come back in for a second interview a few days later. It was a rehash of the first interview with a different person, to see if I was a good fit for the position. They told me they'd call me back in a few days, unfortunately they never did.

We met in the dining room for the interview. She showed me my application and first described the job. Then, she confirmed if my availability was still the same. It was a quick 10-minute chat. I was a bit bummed because I had prepped for a lot of questions, but I didn't get to say much beyond, "Yes, that's correct." The whole process, from the interview to starting my first shift, took about 2 weeks, which felt a bit long.
