Modell's Sporting Goods Store Manager interview questions

I heard from a recuiter from an email. They only tried to call me back once and after I could not reach them I went ahead and set-up an interview by email without speaking to the person. They saw by my resume that I was a current store manager and when I got there they told me that they don't hire anybody for a store manager that I have to start as an assistant. I asked the hiring manager if I was hired what store would I work in and he said I can't tell you that. I asked him if I could interview or meet the district manager and he said it was a possibility. I then asked if I could meet the store manager where I would be going to and he said no. So basically they had me trek all the way to their corporate office in NYC, they did not even consider hiring me as a store manager, they would not tell me where I would be working, and I could not interview with a district manager or the store manager of where I'd be going to. The interviewer kept trying to throw me in a defensive position. It was beyond unprofessional. What are they hiding? Thanks for wasting my time and money!
