I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel
Interview
I called the store just to ask about hiring opps for 16 year olds & was asked to come in! I came in, was interviewed with manager for servers & then was referred to retail manager. I was interviewed by her a few days later, then called back for interview with the store manager. The interview with the store manager was really nice, she & I just talked about the role I would have, she got to know me, & got a feel of my personality. The interview with the store manager was a bit more intense and straightforward!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Suprisingly, I wasn't prepared to answer-- "How do you expect to handle this and your heavy school work?"
Very lengthy and tedious, but informative as well. After initial interview with a manager, if you are offered the job, you then move to training which is all online at the beginning and tedious.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Glendale, AZ) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview was great, manager was very nice. Could not guarantee any hours, PT only and only on as needed basis but wanted me to be available nights, weekends and holidays. If hired and store was slow you would be sent home without pay. Not for me. Need some guarantee of some hours.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Morrow, GA) in May 2022
Interview
The interview was quick and in-depth, and I enjoyed it. But I heard the manager for that specific department was condescending. The environment was nice, the interview is set up through telephone and is completed at the store location.
