I was called by another store manager about my application and informed to meet with the district manager on a specific day at one of their locations. when I arrived there were two store managers, and a handful of people that were applying for part time and full time sales. The two managers running the interview had no idea who I was, kept asking me who told me to show up and insinuated that the position I was interviewing for was already filled. The environment was uncomfortable and not positive for anyone who is trying to interview for a higher level position. They eventually asked me if I could come back and meet with the district manager and I said yes but didn't feel at all like this would be a good fit for me because the environment clearly lacked communication and professionalism.

I reached out to a DM after seeing a post on LinkedIn. Had a face to face meeting with the DM and Regional Manager. A week later was set up with a face to face meeting with the VP of Stores, DM and Regional Manager. All incredibly friendly and great to talk to. Interview is conversational.

the interview for store manager was long. there was a phone interview with standard screening questions. meet district manager for face to face...standard questions and than a 2nd phone interview.
