Giant Eagle Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details I applied online, was contacted the next morning and had a date set for the interview. I was interview by a corporate employee at the store and then by the front end manager. I was offered the job immediately after. I had to come in for about 2 hrs. three days for preliminary orientation and then received about four days of actual job specific training. I felt the training period was sufficient.

Interview Details Applied online, received a phone call and email a week later to set up interview time. Met with recruiter in store, basic interview questions. Interviewer was very distant and unpleasant and seemed like she didn't even want me there. Next had interview with store manager, who acted even ruder than the recruiter. He literally took out his cell phone in the middle of my interview; very unprofessional and rude.

Interview Details Total waste of time. Group interview with 5 other people, have no time to introduce self or talk about past. They make other people introduce you.

I thought I did everything great and my personality came through as much as it COULD. and they emailed me next day saying they had gone with someone else. The interview was with recruiters I would never work with and not even at the store i had applied to. awful judge of character. the store manager of where the interview was spent the entire time texting.
