Behavioral Other

It was pretty straightforward. We started with a phone interview, and then they asked me to come in to talk with the hiring manager. It was very conversational. They asked what made me apply and what experience I had in the industry. They also asked common behavioral questions like tell me about a time you went above and beyond, and tell me about a time you wished you went above and beyond.

Behavioral

The hiring manager and I had a good conversation and they were easy to talk to. They were flexible about my work schedule and followed through on their promises. I felt comfortable during the interview. The manager explained the open positions and talked about how good work and dedication could lead to advancement. They clearly explained the benefits, paid time off, and uniform requirements. I'd suggest this company to people interested in the car business.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online, and then had a one-on-one interview with the Manager. After that, I had to do a drug test, and then I got the job. The whole process took more than 3 weeks. I like working there, but there's no chance for me to get promoted.
