It was a simple, basic interview. Straightforward group interview with two other people. It was pretty conversational, mostly asking about past experiences. Overall casual, and life outside of work was also quickly mentioned. Just make sure to dress professionally.

The interview was quick. It was a Q and A session. My manager wanted to get to know me and my style since appearances matter at this shoe store where people often ask for style advice. I applied for the cashier role but was interviewed for the sales associate position. I was interviewed with one other person, and we alternated answering the same questions.

This was a terrible interview experience. They were really unprofessional with time management, rescheduling my interview for the next day and wasting my time. The managers also gave off a bad welcoming vibe when I arrived at the store. The management had bad time management, was unprofessional, and the working environment was unwelcoming. I don't recommend Steve Madden. It seems like they have favoritism, and you can tell just by observing the work environment and how managers and employees interact, even though I wasn't hired. This company needs to improve how they hire management.
