Interviewed Jan 2012 in Memphis, TN (took 3 days)
First they asked about Pets. What sort I had, what I would be willing to deal with, my favorite animals, my least favorite animals, what I had as a kid. They quizzed me on all the different animals in the store. Next they asked me about my prior jobs. What I liked about them, what I didn't like. they wanted to know what sort of managers I had and their styles. They asked me about the last store I'd be WOW'd at. They want to know about what I thought was a great customer service experience. They also wanted to know how I handled stressful situations. With either employees or with customers. Be prepared to give several examples of all the questions above. Then they asked why they should hire me. Don't be fooled by thinking this is an easy question! Also they LOVED that I came prepared with questions about the company. Write a list!

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
I was working as a team lead for another store. I heard about an assistant manager position that was available and decided to look into it. I called the store manager and she talked with the district manager. She had done several interviews before but decided to give me one, as well. She was looking for someone with a lot more experience in management, she decided to hire someone outside of the company. She had made her decision before interviewing me but the district manager wanted her to interview me so she did. The questions weren't hard, they were situation based and if I had experience dealing with different associates. She wasn't very interested in the fact that I knew a lot of the reports, she wanted to know how much experience I had dealing with people.
