      Backroom Associate Interview

      15 July 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Indiana, PA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sears (Indiana, PA) in June 2016

      Interview

      Was called and invited to interview. It was a brisk 20-30 minutes. The following day met with the department lead for a tour of the backroom. Both the interviewers were very friendly and amicable, however I did not get a good impression of Sears company as a whole. They looked very understaffed and the general atmosphere was very depressing. At the end, the offer was for minimum wage, extremely variable hours ranging from 15-20 hours per week. Even if I was accepted for this position, I would have declined after the experience. Company DID NOT send any kind of email or notification informing that I wasn't selected for the job, I had to check my application status online to figure that out.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sears

      Interview

      I applied online and received an email one week later for an interview. Waited in their office for a while and got interviewed by my would-be boss. I was the only one there which surprised me because as I would find out later, the backroom was understaffed even with me being hired.
