SASR Workforce Solutions Interview Questions
& Process

I interviewed for this role and was initially given an opportunity, but I soon understood why previous employees had left. The work environment is characterized by paranoia and a high degree of control. I would not suggest this position to anyone. My performance was actually better than that of an existing employee with seven months of experience, yet they kept shifting their expectations and then had the nerve to tell me they could "Wait" for me to improve.

The hiring process took 2 days and was smooth and efficient. Since it's a third-party recruiter, I haven't met many SASR employees besides coworkers (merchandisers) and one Lead. The payroll process was a bit tedious and confusing at first, but any delays were my fault. Once I completed online timesheets and emailed scanned copies to payroll, everything went smoothly. You must complete the new hire paperwork and I-9 (e-signed) to be paid on time or remain eligible for jobs.

After you finish all the paperwork on the website portal, a scheduler in your region might give you a call. It's important for them to hear your positive vibe when talking about any previous retail interactions, like sales, ordering, stocking shelves, or even customer service in other areas. If your area needs merch people, the scheduler will email you a link to the employee website area, where you can set up your own login. You can then look at all the jobs in your area or across the USA. If you have to travel, you might get reimbursed $5.00 for gas if you drive over 30 miles one-way, and $10 if it's over 60 miles. Some jobs involve working with a team, others solo. Don't aim for Team Lead until you've worked at least a year in different settings and have all your tools. Don't expect speedy help from schedulers if you need more guidance. Being nice to store staff and asking questions early on will save you precious time. These jobs are time-sensitive because your company won't get future contracts if you take too long. If you're new to merchandising, go ask other contractors about their work for tips. Your interviewer will probably seem really happy to have you, even with no experience, especially in the spring when we get the most contracts. Be ready to work odd hours, with few or no breaks, and no sitting except for lunch.

They ask about your background and history. Wants to know what makes you qualified for this role and how you intend to help people. Asks about your college level and your certifications. Asks about your last employment and where you see yourself in five years.
