Interviewed May 2011 in Murfreesboro, TN (took a day)
I received a call from the owner of Sonic and he set-up an interview for the following week. I was on-time, if not early, but had to wait at least ten minutes. I was taken back into the break room and he began the interview questions. He read the questions deadpan, verbatim from the packet. Each question was ridiculous and pointless. i answered each question as best as I could to a very unenthusiastic interviewer with crazy questions. He went on to detail every aspect of the job, salary, dress code, price of uniform shirt, rules and regulations, what I would need to bring to be hired, etc, just as a manager who was hiring you would. He told me to call back within a couple of days to work out my schedule. I called, expecting to be put on the schedule and figuring that I'm hired, only to hear that I should call back the following week. Again, I called and was told that I was not hired and he would be going in another direction. I just don't feel that I was treated fairly. He made every indication that I was hired, only to wait two weeks to tell me I was "not what Sonic was looking for at the moment." Were they looking for a blonde?

Interviewed May 2011 in Newport News, VA (took 1+ week)
I was called twice to set up interview once on tuesday next was friday of same week. The guy could not remember or look at his notes to remember he already made an appointment with me. The interview took 15 minutes and ended shortly after he got a call. The interviewer said he was going to have his "partner" at another store talk to me about a job in her store but she never called. I called the interviewer again and he promised that she would call me but never did. The last time I called him back he said he would have another job for me at a store two miles from my house but no one ever called from that store either.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
After submitting an application, called the manager at this location to request an interview. Was able to set up the interview for the next day. This was appreciated she was willing and able to get me in the next day. Was made to feel I was important with such a quick responce to my request for a meeting. Was asked about myself, if I had been looking long for a job, given general information about what was expected inregard to appearance and attire. Asked if I could start right away.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
I applied to be a server. Although I didn't have experience, I was willing to bend over backwards and work dozens of hours a week for the job. My only experience was volunteering, as I was in my 10th year of high school. (I helped count hundreds of dollars through my service club)
The interview couldn't have lasted more than 5 minutes although I offered to clean the toilets, they still never hired me. The person who interviewed me couldn't be a day older than 20 years old.
Looking back I am much more thankful they didn't hire me. My current job has allowed me to grow and I now make 150% minimum wage without a high school diploma.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
Um, well, it was pretty basic. they asked me my name, why i wanted to work there, a few questions about my work experience (i had none), how i would improve their co., etc etc. they were very polite and it was a fairly laid back interview, considering it was a phone interview and stuff.

Interviewed May 2008 (took a day)
It was fairly simple. The hiring manager will interview you and if you are going to be hired, an orientation date will be set-up immediately after the first interview. Although if the store is not hiring at that time be persistance in following up with the manager not anyone else. Do not show up during busy times.
