Very laid back. They have an energetic community and seemed to be screening if your energy level would match theirs. The resume was used to apply but they were not as resume conscious during the face to face.

Question 1
Describe a time you did not know something and how you remedied the situation
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Rochester, MN) in Aug 2024
Interview
Quick and easy. General manager was a very nice, polite, outgoing woman. She offered me a job on the spot and was clear about expectations and needs of the company
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee
Interview
Very easy and straightforward interview process. Felt like it was just a formality. Just talked about strengths and weaknesses. Got to meet employees and get a feel for the location before accepting.
I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Saint Louis Park, MN)
Interview
Straight forward. Not stressful. Looking for people with a strong work ethic. The interviewer was friendly. They're open to training people without much experience as a barista. They generally want to know that you have a good work ethic and have schedule availability that meets their needs.
