The interview process was quite brief. It started with a fast phone call with HR, followed by a 30-minute in-person meeting with the department manager. I felt like the questions were a bit repetitive, and the interviewer didn't seem very engaged. The overall atmosphere was just a bit strange.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online to be a cashier at the Franklin location. About ten days later, HR texted me about a job fair at the store, but I couldn't make it. So, they set up a phone interview for me instead. It was pretty straightforward, but they did ask some weird questions, like rating my desire to work there on a scale of 1 to 10. It went okay, and they booked me for an in-person interview a few days after. When I got to the store, the interviewer seemed totally unprepared, like he didn't even know I was coming. He spent like 4-5 minutes on his computer looking up my info from HR. He wanted to put me in bakery or deli and was bummed I couldn't work evenings since the job posting said the hours were 7 am to 3 pm. But, he did want to schedule me for orientation. I also saw two employee resignation forms on his desk, which was kinda funny during the interview.

The phone interview went well, and I was actually offered a higher position than the one I applied for. However, the in-person interview felt disorganized. During the initial phone call, the bakery manager mentioned we'd decorate a cake together to showcase my skills. When I arrived for the in-person interview, the manager met me briefly and then had me wait at the front for about 10-15 minutes. Afterward, he took me to a desk area where people were constantly passing by. Ultimately, they decided not to offer me any of the positions I applied for, nor the one HR had proposed. Instead, they wanted to place me in a completely different role, not in the bakery, with different working hours, which I declined.

You'll submit your application on the website. Someone from the main office will check it out and give you a call to set up a phone interview. Usually, after the phone chat, they'll schedule you for an in-person interview at the store. When you get to the store interview, they might tell you about other job openings that you could be a good fit for, even if they're different from the one you applied for.
