I applied online and was able to immediately schedule an interview for the next day. It was supposed to be a 30 minute interview, turned into an hour and a half which seemed excessive but at the time didn’t raise red flags. 3 weeks later they called me to come up to fill out paperwork for the second interview that they could have had me do at the end of the first interview. The regional manager then set up a zoom call with me for a week and a half after this. Now a month after initially applying I sit down to have the final interview. I was interrogated about my life, childhood traumas and how I felt they effected me long term, my divorce from an unfaithful and abusive marriage, and about a restraining order I had put in place against a former partner and WHY! Then they asked me to tell them what positive aspects there were to my abusive marriage and what I liked about my former abuser. This final interview was 2 hours long and I think MAYBE 5 minutes was about the actual job. Then they asked me about what my finances are like, what debts I have, what I pay for rent, and repeatedly said to “be sure to not lie because we will find out”. I do not know what my personal life and finances have to do with selling someone a mattress. They asked highly personal and insensitive questions the entire process. And on top of it all they require a hair follicle test…to sell mattresses. No part of me wanted to work for a company that made me rip scabs off of old wounds and then expect me to live with a bald patch for such an unimportant menial job.

Two interviews. One with Store Manager and second with District Manager. Second interview was very in depth and almost felt like a therapy session for how much they really want to know who you are.

Very thorough interview but not high pressure. They were very nice which made it easy to be yourself and be comfortable in the interview. They asked questions that helped to get to know me and they also shared some experiences so I could get to know them.
