I applied in November and got a call for an interview in February of the following year. The interviewers seemed pleasant, but their questions felt very rehearsed and they didn't deviate from the script at all, making it hard to gauge their genuine interest or what they'd be like to work with. The whole vibe felt a bit stiff, not like a place where people show much personality. Even though I wasn't offered the job, I likely wouldn't have taken it if they had.

I had my first interview with the Store Manager, mostly to talk about my availability and past work experience. Then, I had another interview for the part-time Shift Supervisor role with the District Manager and Hiring Manager. I felt like I did really well in that interview. They actually called me the same day and offered me a full-time Assistant Manager position instead! I went in the following week for a background check and a drug test. About two weeks after that, I started my training.

I started my application process at a hiring event for Shift Supervisors. The hiring manager asked me some standard interview questions and then I had to fill out a written application, though I also brought my resume. It seemed to go well, and the manager told me I could go meet with the Area Manager that same day before 1:00 PM, which was about 30 minutes away. I rushed from the store to get to the other location on time. I met with the Area Manager, who asked me a lot of questions. He pretty much explained the job in even more detail than the previous person. The more they described the job duties, the more it became obvious to me that Rite Aid doesn't really value their employees and it's all about "cheap labor" there. After I completed a personality test, the Hiring Manager called a few days later with a job offer. However, she used the word "contingent" a lot, which made me feel like they were just waiting for me to mess up a drug test or something. I mean, I'm overqualified for the position with both experience and a college degree. What really made it a deal-breaker was when she also highlighted the $9/hour pay, which I thought was insulting. A lot of the people I talked to had worked there for years and seemed to just be accepting the poor conditions they were given. It's very clear to me that Rite Aid isn't a place where you can build a career, and I don't regret turning down what they considered an offer.
