Easy Interview
Overall Positive Experience Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)

Walked in, dropped off my application, and within five minutes a manager asked if I could do an on-site interview. We talked for about thirty minutes, pretty standard interview. How do you deal with conflict, do you like to read, etc. I had a great time talking to the manager and we set up a secondary interview just to meet-and-greet the regional manager.
