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.
- Mostly they just wanted to know when I was available.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Bethesda, MD
I interviewed at Total Wine & More (Bethesda, MD)
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.
- Asked about price elasticity, how to calculate margin, how would you price a bottle of wine
