I applied online. I interviewed at Sears (Citrus Heights, CA) in Jul 2017
Interview
DO NOT WORK HERE.
Unprofessional Interview. Group interview. Did icebreaker and got to know everyone. Went into questions about work experiences. Then questions such, "What does Integrity mean to you?" and asks left to right.
Like, really? I didn't know i applied to a English Class or something.
Then asks "When was a Stressful time you had to deal with and overcame it?" Asked everyone one at a time from left to right. Everyone was basically just trying to compete with each other. Then last thing was, Role playing. Everyone role played and they barely gave out any explanation about what we were supposed to do. Didn't even try to give us an example about how to sell credit or membership. So the first person that went up, me, had barely any information on what to say or do. So during my role play, the store manager would tell me what I could do and start giving me information that he didn't include earlier, which ruined my chances of getting hired because the next person that went up to do their role play had more information and knowledge on what to do. and that person was also confused which led the store manager to provide more knowledge and information on what to do therefore the next person after that had more knowledge and information. So it went on until the last person, the fifth person. With all the knowledge and information gathered from everyone's mistakes and experience, that last person would have obviously done much more better since he was there to see everyone's role play. So basically of course he knew what to do.
Very unprofessional.

Question 1
What does integrity mean to you?
The answer that the store manager gave was, "Integrity is something that can never be taken away from me even if i lost everything. Integrity is always there."
I applied online. I interviewed at Sears (Titusville, FL) in Apr 2014
Interview
I was hired during the interview. They seemed to be needing employees due to their high turnover rate. It was a very easy interview and did not take very long.
