I interviewed with the local Executive Director, then with the Center Director (franchise owner). Both were friendly, but it didn't seem like we were on the same page regarding job expectations. The CD gave off a vibe of disrespect towards his employees. This was clearer when we discussed ghosting. I mentioned it's an issue for us job seekers too. The CD said, "My employees do exactly what I tell them, you will hear back if you get the job or not, next week."..... Then I was ghosted.

I talked with the district manager and her boss, plus someone from HR, for a total of three interviews. I also met my potential coworker, but that part changed because the structure changed and now there's only one manager.

The interview process was with the wife of the owner of the 11 Sylvan Centres. It wasn't very professional, as the questions were quite calculated, and she arrived late. She also changed the interview time on the morning of the interview. On a Saturday night, after midnight, I received an email to submit references by Monday morning, giving very little time to contact the references to let them know they would be contacted, and then they never were.
