The hiring process was a bit of a chase with lots of phone tag, but eventually, I got called into their office for what felt like an interrogation. The sales manager went over company policies, and then the GM quizzed me about pro audio. They weren't too keen on the fact that I had some knowledge in multiple departments, which would have been useful for covering shifts, but they were really looking for someone totally dedicated to just one area.

I picked up an application in person, filled it out, and then brought it back. About a week later, I got a call for an interview with one person. I felt like I was doing most of the talking, and it was tough to understand how I'd fit into the store or what the pay structure really was. They let me know I didn't get the job about a week after that, which I appreciated because it was pretty fast feedback.
