Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Waycross, GA Sep 2011 – Reviewed Sep 20, 2012
Interview Details – Very quick and easy at temporary stores. They post an email address at the new location in an empty store. Emails and people who come to the meeting date are employed first, as well as people who've previously worked there. Everyone else is hired after and the store is liberal in taking applications. If you are recommended by a friend, you are 80% more likely to get hired.

General Manager at Halloween City
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Federal Way, WA Aug 2012 – Reviewed Jan 28, 2013
Interview Details – Went to a store in the building process for interview. District Manager gave first review outside of store and was friendly and focused on the company supplies interview guide. After the interview was done, he asked me to wait around a bit to see if the Regional Manager could continue. He was available and, again, very friendly. He must have been working from the same guide since he asked the same questions. After it was over, they asked me to fill out an application and sent me home. I got a call a couple of days later offering me the position.
