The interview was pretty chill and laid back. I felt comfortable. They talked about my previous restaurant experience and mostly about any scheduling conflicts I might have. It was pretty standard stuff, nothing too surprising. They also made sure to explain what the job expectations were.

Behavioral Technical
This was my first time applying to this company. I appreciated the interview, but it was the most awkward experience I've ever had. The interviewer seemed to confuse my application with someone else's, acting confused when I didn't know the person they mentioned. After about 5 minutes of discussing my current role and experience, I mentioned I liked my current position, and the interviewer tried to end the interview prematurely. This happened before they shared more details about the role or asked why I was interested in it.
