Entrevista
I had a recruiter reach out to me in December 2015 saying they found my resume on a website and if I was interested in the position. I had agreed to find out more about the company. Spoke to the recruiter twice on the phone so she could get a feel for who I am, spoke about an hour on the phone the first time since we spoke about my degree background etc very laid-back. Second time was to tell me I passed the first step and next was a store visit. Went to visit a store nearby and spoke with the Manager, felt very comfortable and overall a great experience. (I ended up training in that store for 3 weeks). Third interview was at the district office with the DM, also felt very comfortable but professional. Since it was around Christmas time he said hopefully I receive an early Christmas gift. Within half an hour after the interview I got a call saying I got the job. My advice to you is be yourself, be prepared with any paper work they tell you to bring, and talk about your sales experience if you have (they love that).

Showed up 10 minutes before the interview time only to be told the manager I had my appointment with had gone out to lunch (10 AM). It was a training store so I imagine this manager has many people come through his store so after they told me to come back in an hour I simply went home and told the recruiter what happened. It was a huge red flag and I knew this was not the company for me.

The screening interview was situational, not bad at all, standard "do you have any work experience to link to this" kinds of questions. Second was an in-store walkthrough, the particular manager I got was a good guy and had very little issue describing exactly what the day-to-day around there was like, didn't try to "sell the corporate dream" like HR professionals will. Third interview (final) was where the problem lied. Hiring manager there gave off sociopathic vibes, and I was more or less given a standard interview, but either they had already made a decision on a prior interview or just really couldn't handle basic human interaction. Very impersonal and robotic from the moment I got past the receptionist. The main problem with their interview system is that the first two interviews really don't matter. The last one with the hiring manager holds all the weight, and they will string you along until this point. I heard this complaint around the internet while I was interviewing here, and I can confirm its authenticity. Overall, interview here if you like, but don't trust that positive vibes from the beginning will mean local corporate will care about your time invested in interviewing there. They can and will dismiss you in half an hour of interviewing after you've put in ~2 hours 15 in prior interviews, one requiring travel.
