Disorganized overall, management forgot they had an interview so I had to wait for them at a table in the middle of the dining room, standard interview questions, not done in a quiet area, in the midst of guests eating

Anonymous Employee in Katy, TX
I applied online. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Katy, TX) in May 2023
Hired on the spot and didn’t really ask me interview questions because of my experience. It was very short and I did both of my interviews the same day. I also did my background that day and worked the next day.

Anonymous Employee in Sellersburg, IN
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Sellersburg, IN) in May 2023
I applied online and was given the option to schedule an interview using the online system. In theory it’s a great idea. However, when I showed up to my scheduled interview they didn’t even know I was coming. They were pretty busy so I offered to reschedule, but he went ahead and fit me in. He was a nice guy, easy to talk to, and straightforward. He didn’t have any of my information in front of him since he didn’t know I was coming. It is one of those places where they interview you sitting at one of their tables where customers are watching you have your interview instead of taking you to a back room or break room.
- I had applied for the To Go Orders and he was asking why I chose that position instead of a server.
Anonymous Employee in Bowling Green, KY
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Bowling Green, KY)

- Describe one time when a customer was angry at you and how you responded.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in New York, NY
I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (New York, NY)
Completely ignored after 2nd interview. No response to repeated reach out attempts. The pay rate is very low considering the demands of the furniture sales position and the training promised seemed like it would be extremely demanding while simultaneously working on the sales floor.
