The interview process usually involves three to four interviews. You'll start by meeting with the Hiring Manager, who is typically the General Manager of the location you're applying for. Then, you'll have an interview with another General Manager, and finally, you'll meet with the District Manager.

I applied online and heard back from the recruiter a few days later. About 30 minutes before our scheduled screener call, she asked to reschedule it, which I accommodated to the following week. The recruiter interview felt like a casual conversation, and there weren't any difficult questions. Then, there was silence for two weeks. The recruiter then contacted me asking for my availability for interviews that week. I provided it immediately, but no interviews were scheduled, and I eventually received a form rejection letter. It felt like a month of my time was wasted.

It was friendly and relaxed. We met at a Starbucks. The questions were general and it was not overly stressful. There were people standing around waiting to be interviewed if you take a little longer to visit with the interviewer.
