Manager In Training at hhgregg
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Mar 3, 2013
Interview Details – I found an online that hhgregg was looking for MITs for the Augusta, GA area. I applied and was promptly contacted for an interview. Once I arrived at the interview the General Manager quickly gave me the company history, asked me the usual interview questions, and then proceeded to talk me into a position on the sales floor as a commissioned sales associate. This company usually hires management from within or experienced managers from outside regardless of your educational background. Apparently my MBA was not enough to qualify me for a management position.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Appleton, WI Aug 2012 – Reviewed Nov 14, 2012
Interview Details – Found an on-line ad that hhgregg was hiring for new stores in the area, so I applied on-line for manager-trainee program. My phone rang within one hour. The manager-in-training position was already taken, so I was offered to interview for a sales position. At the interview, I told them about my previous work experiences (3 jobs in almost 25 years, but no sales experience) and that I was recntly laid off, and they basically offered me the job on the spot with "Do you think you'd rather be an appliance or electronics sales associate?"
