Initial interview with senior recruiter from Chicago was not what I expected. She started the interview very short and was talking very fast and blunt. The interview continued the same way. I felt very rushed and gave short answers that were not detailed to accommodate her timeline. Interview was 5 mins long and did not seem she was not actually interested in getting to know much.

I had 2 interviews with them. It was average questions that gauge your management style. Personality and Motivation to work within their company. I found it to be Easy and Helpful.

DM was late to interview, store had. no idea I was coming so I was left wandering around the store til the DM arrived 10 mins after my interview should have started. She didn't seem to know anything about me, never pulled out a resume or referenced any of my previous experiences. She took notes on a spiral notebook and asked seemingly random questions. After about 15 mins I was sent to the sales floor to do an "in-store experience," except the DM randomly disappeared without providing instructions and I was once again left wandering aorund the store. I finally asked the store staff what I was supposed to be doing and they gave me a store tour and were really great to chat with. The DM came back after another 15 mins and said "sorry I really needed to take that call." She then asked me what I had learned, which I told her about the store tour and getting to know the staff, but didn't know what else she meant by that as no direction had been provided. I was then told next steps would be with a peer DM, and the term "if you move forward" was used multiple times. It felt very much like the DM was disconnected or distracted and was unprepared or just maybe had no interest in me at all. Who takes a call in the middle of an interview, unless its urgent? Sure enough, I finally emailed over a week later asking for an update, and received a very generic and automated rejection response. The more I think about it, it feels like I dodged a bullet.
