Colloquio
Applied online, got a phone call back within a few days. Came in and did my first interview that went very well. The interviewer said that it may take a while before I hear back because I was the first of several interviews. About 2 weeks later I heard back, had to come in for second interview on July 4th due to mutual schedules. However.....my second interviewer was less that gracious, and frankly quite rude before the interview began.
We sit down and he starts off with saying "Well, I'm English...that's why I'M working the the 4th of July, and I don't celebrate losing!" I was so uncomfortable with what he said I didn't know how to react, so there was a second or two of painful silence. Then we began the interview and it became immediately clear he was not interested in anything I had to say. He barely made any eye contact, and he was VERY impersonal. By far the most uncomfortable interview I have ever had. Interview lasted barely 10 minutes, he said I'd hear back, and not surprisingly I never did which was probably for the best.

Meeting was with the location's sales manager. Sat in the commons area before opening hours. Interview was simple and quick. Mediocre text based communication in the setup process for the initial meeting and no communication since the interview.

Long and difficult. They were very unclear about expectations/salary. Come to find out it is barely above minimum wage for an “admin” position. Waste of time. Would not recommend ! Can tell they pay other positions badly if not worse.

Generally unimpressed with the interview process, and it was was very unorganized. A phone interview was scheduled first; however, 15 minutes before I received an email saying the hiring manager "had lost track of time" and needed to reschedule the interview. They were willing to reschedule, so I was understanding and fine with this.
When I had the opportunity to speak with the hiring manager, the conversation was all over the place. They were unable to explain to me the daily tasks -- only that the job involved answering phones and directing calls. Going in, I understood there would be some cross-training/ unpredictable daily tasks due to new operations and the COVID-19 pandemic, but the extremely vague job description I was given on the phone interview did not line up with the job I thought I was interviewing for. The job description should have more clearly updated to reflect these responsibilities before posting on their website.
At the end of the interview, it was described they would only be contacting me if they were interested in moving forward. After thinking more about this unprofessional statement, I decided I would not want to work for a company that believed in 'ghosting' candidates whether I was to advance or not. After taking the time out of multiple days (due to the reschedule) the idea that it was too difficult for the employer to complete a simple, quick task such as sending a follow-up email speaks volumes about their work culture and how employees are treated, if hired.
