The company called me to schedule an interview. The hiring manager seemed bothered that I showed up on time for our scheduled interview and appeared uninterested during our conversation, like she was just going through the motions. Her facial expressions were also unpleasant. I stayed to be polite, but she didn't bother to tell me if or when I'd hear back about a decision. I was just told goodbye and shown out. I didn't get hired, which I figured would happen given her attitude, and I never even got a rejection notice.

I applied online and the next day the Assistant Manager called me in for a group interview. I was hired during the holidays and was told in the interview that they do not hire seasonal. I still am currently working here so I guess that is slightly true although others were laid off. When everyone showed up for the interview the assistant manager each asked us questions. Some of us were asked the same questions some were asked different questions. I felt the group interview made it way easier and I was instantly not nervous anymore. She ended up asking the other two more questions and forgetting to ask me but I still got the job. Two out of the three of us got the job and we are both still here. Overall the interview was very easy. Basic interview questions.
