Entrevista
I applied online for a full-time cashier position at Sam's Club. After 2 weeks, I received a phone call asking me to come in for an interview the following morning. When I arrived, I was rudely "greeted" by a woman in a green vest called a "COS" who looked me up and down and had a very snotty demeanor - I think I was a little overdressed in her eyes, but I was only business casual and despite their Sam's Club dress code of jeans and company issued vests, I simply refuse to show up for an interview in jeans. She led me upstairs to the personnel dept where another lady gave me a sheath of papers. On top was my online application which they printed out. She asked me to verify and update it, which did not take long as 99% of the information was already there. Beneath my application were pages of interview questions, typical stuff like "tell us about a time you worked on a team" and "describe a situation when you planned a project and followed it to completion". I looked over these questions, so when the next employee entered the room to ask me the questions I already had a pretty good idea of how I would answer. She started off by looking through my application and expressed surprise that I had marked "full time" (and 100% availability). She said they do not usually hire full-time cashiers and the position was part-time and seasonal only. That was the first red flag for me as I applied for FULL time and did not check an interest in part-time OR seasonal employment with Sam's Club. She asked if I wanted to proceed with the interview and I asked how many hours part-time cashiers typically work; after her answer of 25-33 and sometimes more during the holiday season, I said yes. She asked me the long questions which seemed to be suited more for an office or management position. I answered them appropriately and then she started to tell me more about the job. She said there would be considerable lifting of 50 lb or so. She said that cashiers have daily quotas for selling Sam's Club memberships, particularly Business and "Plus" memberships. She said, "each day you would come in and we ask "What is your goal for today?" and you tell us so we know that you understand the set quota for your shift". She offered me the job and I declined.

Tell me about a time when you argued your point of view to get someone else to see your side.
It was good process and was happy with the interview. Very easy going and I did not wait to see the person I was interviewing with. It was casual and I understood what the job entailed

The interviewer loved me and even spoke with the manager and got the green light to send me the offer letter. I got a rejection letter at 1am on Sunday, 3 days later. I called them 4 times, left my name and number, even applied for a different position and was told again I would be getting an offer letter.
I called a 5th time and they claimed they did a hiring freeze, they even showed me the note they wrote on my interview saying I was perfect. They still never called me back or hired me.

I wish I was able to go back in time to tell myself to not apply for this company. My experience with the interviewer was unprofessional. The manager didn’t remember my name or who I was when she was the one who organized the meeting. I had to initiate the handshake when she didn’t offer it. The whole interview was less than 15 minutes, and it was basically just her dumping a whole bunch of info about what to expect at the job and rarely gave me time to talk. The interview felt very one-sided. At the end, she was just like, “ Okay, bye” and turned her back against me in her chair. I wasted so much time preparing for this excuse of an interview and was slapped in the face with a rejection email the next day. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t get the job, I’d rather not work with a manager who is that unprofessional. They really need to train their managers in knowing how to interview applicants.
