      Retail Sales Associate Interview

      22 July 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Jersey City, NJ
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Jersey City, NJ) in Dec 2011

      Interview

      This was around the time during Christmas in December of 2011 or should I say when they were "really" hiring. So I applied online, and there was no assessment test and I was asked to schedule an interview right on the spot right after I completed the application. Then once I scheduled my interview, and I went to human resources on the 2nd floor by the women section and told the people at the desk that I am here for an interview. The ladies seemed a little disorganized and my first impression was, this might not be the place to work for, but anyways lets see. So I waited for about an hour to an hour an half and there was only two recruiters available and the first recruiter was loud and taking his sweet time interviewing the candidate for the "Sales Associate" position. He was loud and I thought I was going to be next to be yelled at. Moments later, the girls upfront realized that the first recruiter was taking so long to finish up with his candidate, so they called one of the second managers who was on duty to interview me and the rest of the candidates. So I pulled into his office, and it really did not seem like an office, it was more like a closet with a computer just sitting right in front of him. He looked at my application and asked me series of questions and then at the end he told me, "I am sorry, I do not have ANYTHING for you at this time. However, I am going to store your application so that in case we are interested in you, we will contact you. " What came to my mind was,"Oh really? So, I basically wasted my time for nothing and you are sitting there lying to me that you are going to 'save' when you guys are interested in me again." After all, after I exited the room, and from the corner of my eye, I witness the interviewer ripping up my application and throwing it away. Thank god, I do not work here, even if I did, I would not be happy.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Orlando, FL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Macy's (Orlando, FL)

      Interview

      Virtue first. Then, at the store. Interview questions are not hard but hiring manager/s are sketchy. They posted part time positions but when I got into the interview they said their looking for people wanting full time job. So unprofessional to take my time.
