The interview was about 20 minutes long and I spoke with one of the assistant managers. They were professional and easy to talk to, but a little robotic, asking question after question with not much feedback. They asked a lot about my CV, my experience, and my personality. After the interview, I got a quick tour of the store where they explained what the different areas are for, and we discussed benefits, salary, and holiday. The hourly pay for this role is £9.25 as of April 2022.

Had a great first interview, and the second interview felt super positive. HR called the day after to let me know they were freezing recruitment for this role, even though I was told they needed several people. I followed up twice and got the same answer: 'we would like to offer you are role but we are not in a position to fill this role, we'll get back to you asap.' They never did get back to me.
