The interview process was straightforward and uncomplicated. Perkins seems to be consistently hiring, so it wasn't overly challenging. The interview mainly focused on your current availability and flexibility with shifts.

It was a pretty chill interview process with some basic questions. I only had one interview since I was referred by a friend, which made things super easy. They started me at $13/hr and bumped me to $14 after about 4 months. Now I'm making $16, and I bet they'd give me more if I asked, but I'm planning to leave soon anyway. The team is great, even though there's always that one person nobody really likes, haha.

I only have retail/hotel experience, and I worked at a Panera. I was surprised when he wanted to interview me. The place was like 25 minutes away. I didn't realize how far it was and was exactly on top instead of 5-10 minutes early like I prefer. He accused me of being late and I told him I'm not normally late and he called me a liar. The rest of the interview was awkward and he went over every detail of my application, which no one usually does. I hate repeating myself; it's like, just read it yourself. Then he told me he was trying to hire for days and I am available nights. Why would you waste my time? Then he told me I would make more there on a 3-hour shift than $8/hr at a hotel. This is false. At only $40 in tips a night on a 4-hour shift, you would bring home $44 a night, 4x a night, which is still less than I would get paid at a hotel. I thought he was rude and unprofessional. If he offers me a job, I will not take it.
