They asked me a bunch of questions and gave me details about the hours and pay. There were also some math problems. Overall, it was a really good interview. My starting pay at Penn Station was $13/hour. I definitely suggest it.

The interview process was quite lengthy, involving around 6 interviews. It even included a 6-hour unpaid 'working interview'. I was told I was at my final interview and drove an hour to get there. Then, they mentioned an issue because I lived 20 minutes away instead of their preferred 15 minutes. They promised a callback the following Tuesday, but after all those interviews, I never heard back. I tried calling some of their contacts, but no one bothered to return my calls.

It was very unprofessional. You will have two interviews, one with the assistant manager and the next interview with the actual manager. If you come on time for the interview, they will have you wait for 2 hours to start the interview. They will keep repeating questions constantly.
