It was a really long interview process, I had to meet with five different people over five separate occasions and locations. Honestly, it felt like more interviews than were really necessary, and most of them asked pretty much the same things. Out of all the hiring processes I've been through, this was by far the longest.

I was first contacted via email, and then had a phone interview with the Head Recruiter. Due to grad school, the Head Recruiter offered me a Shift Leader position instead. My second interview was supposed to be with the General Manager at the restaurant, but they weren't there, so the Assistant Manager interviewed me. I had a third interview at the same location with the General Manager, which was similar to the second one. I was supposed to get a test emailed to me, but it took weeks. After finishing the online assessment, I waited for a call.
