Easy Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Fairview Heights, IL (took 3 days)

GM wasn't very professional but I knew that the company was, researched position and decided to go for it. Used glassdoor to help me gage my salary and thank goodness I did! What they offered felt low so I turned the initial offer down. I negotiated and the GM was impatient about the whole thing but they offered me what I asked.

Negotiation Details

I was, and I leveraged my timing of year for that. It was late October, knew the store was heading into holiday short leadership and I stayed patient. Never give out your current salary, because the job you are looking into may have NOTHING to do with what you are currently looking at taking on.

Other Details

I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 3 days)

Recruiter called me, acted very excited about my experience and my fit for the position. We discussed salary requirements. She stated they were slightly above the normal range but she thought that with the particular market we wre in, there shouldn't be an issue. Also discussed scheduling concerns. In summary, she agreed with everything I was asking for and then, called the next day to say they couldn't make any adjustments.

Interview Questions

Overall interview was very easy, they were more about finding out salary requirements and scheduling information

The man was really inforamtive and easy-going..I didnt feel nervous or pressure from any of the questions. The man was calling from the corporate office in ohio i believe.. The quesions were general:

1. why do you want to work here?
2. what are your strengths/weaknesses?
3. How do you motivate people?
4. Describe your last job....
