The first step was setting up an appointment for the first interview via email. When I got there they realized I had been given the wrong day and apologized. Thankfully someone still had time to speak to me and things seemed to go well. It was mostly questions aimed at getting to know me and gauging my interest in the position. I was then told I would be contacted by another manager to setup a 2nd interview within 24-48 hours. After a few days of waiting, I decided to call myself and check in. They were surprised I hadn't been contacted and told me a manager would call within 24-48 hours again. After a week had passed, I finally received a call to come in for another interview. This time it was a different manager and before even saying hello it felt as though she had decided she didn't like me. The whole interview felt very cold and as though she had already made her decision, which was very odd since the first manager had been very welcoming and friendly. I asked what the next steps would involve and she told me that I'd be contacted within 24- 48 hours to set up a third interview and if that went well I'd be scheduled for a working interview. Again, I was not contacted for nearly a week and I happened to be in the area so I stopped by the store to inquire about my next interview. The manager I had seen during the second interview was there and told me she was surprised I hadn't been contacted but that someone would contact me soon. A day or two later I received a generic email saying that I had not been selected. Aside from the initial message, all other forms of contact from them had been calls directly from a manager. I was disappointed that after several weeks of being kept waiting, missed appointments, and multiple interviews they did not call or at least send a more personal email. I sent an email in response thanking them for their time and asking why I was not selected so that I could improve in future applications. They told me I'd get a response to my email soon. It's now a week later I have not received a response. All in all, the process was very disorganized and left a poor impression.
