Interview

The manager was very friendly and engaged in the interview. He seemed genuinely excited about the different offerings at the store. The staff absolutely do not match his energy and interest so there is some disconnect between employees and management.

I interviewed at Total Wine & More (Bethesda, MD)

Interview

The only good person I had contact with was the recruiter! Very honest, open and transparent about where the company was and shortcomings. The 3 individuals I met with apart of the team were “ok” but they just didn’t seem excited so I wasn’t excited. Like if you’re hiring for a new role, make the candidate feel like they’re joining a world class team even though they would join a company with archaic ways of working and standards. Also, they will ask you very technical excel questions. It’s like, I know excel but I’m already nervous and flustered, not the best way to test intelligence. Tried to spring an excel test on me in my final interview with no warning. Crazy business to do that. Moving forward, things can be taught. What you should be looking for is if someone can fit and do you think they can handle the job. That’s it! Everything else can be taught.

Interview Questions
  • Asked about price elasticity, how to calculate margin, how would you price a bottle of wine

How do you guys answer this interview question, “Tell me about a time you had a task and you had a roadblock, how did you solve it”?

Director

For those that have employment gaps, (six months or less between jobs) is it better to list your company tenure by years only or actual dates on your resume and LI? In avoiding gaps by putting years only, I'm denying myself of more time held in a role at a company by 6- 8 months. Any suggestions?
