Gander Mountain Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Fairly straight forward, easy questions. Just why Gander Mountain, what kind of stuff you do other than work and school. Probably the shortest, least thorough interview I've ever had and the guy interviewing me was kind of a douche when I told him where I went to college and he couldn't even remember half the questions he was going to ask. Other than that it was a very easy interview.

Reason for Declining – The place seemed very unorganized with poor management and employees that didn't seem like they enjoyed their jobs. Also got an offer for another company that paid better and being a college student with bills I couldn't turn that down.

Interview Details – Very infornal jokes and laughed with the strore manager. asked very easy questions, what do i do how much fishing expierence do i have what kind of fishing knowledge of product. What do i want from gander mountain? easy stuff

Negotiation Details – no negotiation really, he offered, i said i cant do that, toild him what i needed we both agreed.

Interview Details – Called to set up appointment after online process.

Interview Details – Interview went quickly, there's a basic product knowledge test, and a sit down with the Compliance Officer, the Zone Supervisor, and the Store Manager.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation on salary or the like.

Interview Details – Good hiring process. Thorough interview process and corporate training. Promise of positional training, but never followed through. Corporate training details many benefits available to employees with emphasis on open and encouraging access to all employees; failed to deliver on most simple benefit agreement.

Negotiation Details – Not extensive. Offered a low, $8.25 hourly wage, and I requested higher amount. at $11.00/hour. Denied and told that all sales positions start at $8.00/hr. Needed a job so I took the offer.

Interview Details – They held a mirror under my nose to see if I was breathing. A few semi relevant questions were asked. I offered more info. and when I gave them some very relevant and useful credentials they totally ignored them and placed me in a totally different position. This is a company that doesn't pay attention to the skills and credentials that their employees might have. Instead, they just want brainless bodies they can plug in behind a counter or on the floor, the kind of place that makes Walmart look good.

Negotiation Details – Very bogus. A take it or leave it and don't tell any other assoc. or else we'll fire you.

Interview Details – Pretty basic. Three interviews in one sitting.

Negotiation Details – first job out of college, so was ok with comp.

Interview Details – First phrase was to have one on one interview, and do drug testing at that day. Come back another day for physical performance test.

Negotiation Details – Quick and easy negotiation

Interview Details – This was a new store and interviews were held at a local hotel. I applied online and got a call back with the details of when and where to meet for an interview. Prospective employees were called in one by one to be interviewed. I was interviewed by our store manager.

Questions were simply and to the point, and seemingly was more of a personality test than really testing your knowledge of products or customer service.
