It was a great experience, very informative, though the location was a bit tricky to find. The people were polite and engaging. It would have been a fantastic place to work, but they ended up going with a candidate who was more qualified. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

I interviewed with the Operations Manager and it went pretty well. Then I got called back for a second interview with the Branch Manager in under a week. He told me at the start that the interview could go up to 45 minutes, but also said not to worry if it didn't last that long. Mine went for over an hour, and I think it went well. I didn't hear back from anyone afterwards. I sent an email to the Operations Manager later to thank him for considering me and asked for feedback. I never got a response, not even a postcard. It's a shame because I think companies should be open to giving feedback to help applicants improve.

The first interview was with the branch manager and lasted about 40 minutes. It wasn't difficult, with no STAR questions. A few days later, I got an email saying I'd passed to the second round and they'd let me know when to come back. They were supposed to let me know by a certain date but didn't. I emailed them and set up the interview myself. When I arrived for the second interview, I was offered the position right away. The issue was they offered me a different position than the one I applied for. I was qualified for the management role, but it seems they needed help in another division and wanted me there instead. I'm sure they knew this in advance but waited until I showed up to tell me, instead of checking if I was interested in the other role beforehand.
