      District Manager Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Gymboree (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      My interview was set up by a current employee, and I never heard anything from the individual who was hiring, no call, no email, nothing, even after they had my resume and job app with contact into. But they did want me to interview in the next 5 days. That should have been my first clue there, no personal contact. All scheduling and arrangements were made through the existing employee, to no fault of their own. Durring the interview, I had the opportunity to hear more about what they did, verse what the company was about and what their expectation was. I only got that after I found the chance to jump in and ask. I found it interesting that the majority of the interview was about their contributions and not about the actual position. Prior to leaving and after I did get to disclose my career history and what I was looking to bring to the table, I asked if there were any concerns or questions as to being a good fit. To which I was reassured, there were none at all, and the next step would be talking to HR and then another corporate individual I will not name, but I was given specifics with names and dates. Fast forward another 5 days after the day I was ensured a call either way........ I am always glad when you get a glimpse into what could be your future....in this case...poor leadership. In my many years of multi-unit management and being on the other side of the interview table, I always knew that no matter the outcome of my decision to hire someone, when I said I would be contacting everyone to know my decision and even gave them the time frame, I stood by that. I knew that if I was taking an hour to bring them to my office and speak to them, I owed them the 3 minutes to let them know the result. I also knew that my personal actions represented an extension of the company I worked for. What is unfortunate, is that others do not practice that same method.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gymboree (Newport Beach, CA) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      I found the process disorganized and unprofessional. The leadership was in transition so there was confusion as to who I would interview with. The recruiter who initially screened me also left mid-process.
