Another Mindless Automoton at AutoZone

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2009 – Reviewed May 21, 2013

Interview Details – Offensive and crude tacticts used to deter people from being honest. If you have a chance to go through this interview you may be shocked at the way it is conducted. My very first impression of this company was off putting and I should have realized from the beggining that I should have continued my job search.

Interview Question – When was the last time you sold drugs?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – Non negotiable

Overall the process was ok. they could do better. The interview was quick and easy. just be prepared to answer car questions. If you can do that you should be able to get the job.

Store Autozoner at AutoZone

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Kennesaw, GA Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 26, 2013

Interview Details – I am certain I am an isolated case, as I must have done so well on the online application questionnaire that my interview was almost a joke. I filled out the app, planned on following up in 5 days, was called after 2 days, interviewed on the 3rd, accepted the offer by the 4th day. Note: I had ZERO job experience on my resume or anything relevant to cars.

Two days after filling out the online application, I was called by a manager to come in for an interview the next day. The interview included almost no questions about working on cars or any customer service situations. I was asked a few yes or no questions about working on cars, nothing more. I just kept my composure and acted professional as the interviewer told me much more about the benefits of the job rather than interviewing me.

After I finished my interview, I was given paperwork to fill out and told to wait for an email to activate my employee ID. No 2nd interview, no questions asked, just brought in for 1 interview where he told me how the job would be, as if he never intended to interview me at all before offering me the job.

Interview Question – "So you said you worked on cars before with your friend?"   View Answer

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation phase, only the manager telling me about the benefits of working. I was too distracted by the lack of real interview questions and the heavily implied job offer to bother negotiating.

Merchandising Analyst at AutoZone

No Offer – Interviewed in Memphis, TN Aug 2009 – Reviewed Apr 22, 2013

Interview Details – I applied online. Was contacted via telephone to interview. I went on two interviews. It takes them a really, really long time to get back to you after you interview. Of course you can already assume you didn't get it, but getting a call 6 months later to tell you this is pretty unprofessional.

Interview Question – They asked technical questions. I don't remember the details because of the stress but it was difficult.   Answer Question
