      I was sent an email about 3 days after I applied telling me to call a number. It had no ones name on it and I had no idea what company it was from. I went in to interview and the manager hadn't arrived to work yet and was 10 minutes late. When he arrived he seemed distracted and the actual interview wasn't more than 4 minutes. He sent me on my way after saying everyone has to work on Sunday and told me to think about it and call back. I did not call back.

      Negative Experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Olive Garden Italian Restaurants (Federal Way, WA) in October 2018.

      Interview

      I applied online in fall 2018 to a job listing that said there were host openings. Auto-email told me to call the restaurant that I applied to. Manager who answered the phone gave me an interview time to meet with the a different Manager. I arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before the scheduled time to meet with Manager. She kept me waiting over 15 minutes. When she finally came out to meet me, she walked over and asked me if I was interviewing for host/hostess and asked what my availability was. (We stayed out in the lobby. She stood and I was sitting.) I answered and then she said she did not have any open positions for host/hostess and I should call her later. She said she could have me do more paperwork today, but did not want to handle any extra forms that could be lost. I was disappointed to hear this, but I was interested in working here. I asked when she would like me to call back. I was told in 3 weeks. That is a long time for someone actively looking for work ahead of the busy holidays. I know I will not get every job that I apply for, but in a customer service job I expect to be treated decently by the person who would be my boss. Also, she did not thank me for taking the time to come to interview or for her not having an openings. And I do have restaurant experience, and experience with great restaurant managers. I did not plan to followup on this "interview," because it was clear this place was not for me.
