the manager called me 5 days before and it was at 3pm. i got there 15 minutes before. i had to wait 15 minutes more since they were interviewing others as well. so at 3:20 my interview started. Two ladies were interviewing me. One was a manager and the other didn't tell me. she looked nervous when asking the questions and she would look at the manager to help her out. they both made me feel uncomfortable. they said they would email in a week if i got it, if no email then i didn't get it. they ask a lot about school goals, they want you to decide between school or panda express. haven't heard anything yet.
