Interview
I applied online, around 3 days later I got a phone call, which was a "Phone interview". 9 Dollars was mentioned as the wage per hour. Face to face interview scheduled in a few days because it was Saturday. The store is still in the process of being built so it was at a couple of empty trailers outside with people running back and forth the entire time like helpless chickens after getting their heads cut off.
The interview was decent, they record it(voice) and the interviewer went off a sheet of paper and read a question for each section, 8 in total. Afterwards they scheduled another interview so you could meet the store director. More of a get to know you rather than an interview. You signed a paper agreeing to that if you pass a background check you will be hired. They offered 8.25 at that point when I was offered 9 before, They said the lead is barely making 9...but that isn't my problem, you shouldn't offer something then change it. agreed somewhere in-between.
After about 3 days of waiting for the background check to go through I got a call for going back to do something on the computers for 45 minutes and to get hired.
Overall the process was alright, although it felt entirely too long, they were hiring EVERYONE and interviewing EVERYONE at the same time it seemed so its to be expected. (new store, mass hiring)
