      Maßschneider / Designer / Produktentwickler Interview

      May 4, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Schaumburg, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (Schaumburg, IL) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      I was called in for a group interview to learn more about the positions available and speak to a hiring manager. We were set up in the middle of the sales floor in rolling chairs facing each other. We were made to watch two videos. One was to explain their "man in the desert" selling philosophy and the other showed how trucks are unloaded and merchandise was stocked. The manager asked us for input on how we felt about what we saw and just kept saying "seems like you hit on all the points" while reading from a packet the entire time. After the videos we were asked to discuss our "homework" and there were almost no questions asked. We were then asked to fill out an availability sheet and asked to turn them in, told we would be contacted within a week for next steps, and then we were sent on our way. I received an email 4 days later stating that they had "chosen candidates that were a better fit for the position", except I didn't interview for a position. This whole thing felt like a checkbox that the store management team had been directed to complete by corporate management. I was offended and felt like they wasted my time and demeaned the entire group by putting them on the sales floor in front of customers and showed them remedial videos and ignored their feedback.
