J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Main Event (Alpharetta, GA) en juin 2015
Entretien
Semi-Informal one-on-one Conversation with the Sales Manager. The discussion consisted mostly of describing my personality, experience, interests, and the work environment that I thrive in. All job applicant resumes must be initially approved by the corporate office in Plano, Texas before the sales manager can consider an applicant. There was an aptitude test that was required to move on to the next step in the interview process. It was relatively easy and served the purpose of understanding a basic outline of an individual's character, consistency, and honesty. The sales manager was extremely inviting and managed to hold the interview in one of the Private rooms that many corporate events take place. I was offered the position immediately after the back-to-back interviews with both the sales manager and general manager. The most important aspect of this experience was the absence of feeling pressured to make a decision. Main Event's management is welcoming and wanted the best possible outcome for both parties in order to ensure the morale of the sales team remains at an all-time high, which fosters positive experiences and overall job satisfaction.

Meeting was with the location's sales manager. Sat in the commons area before opening hours. Interview was simple and quick. Mediocre text based communication in the setup process for the initial meeting and no communication since the interview.

Long and difficult. They were very unclear about expectations/salary. Come to find out it is barely above minimum wage for an “admin” position. Waste of time. Would not recommend ! Can tell they pay other positions badly if not worse.

Generally unimpressed with the interview process, and it was was very unorganized. A phone interview was scheduled first; however, 15 minutes before I received an email saying the hiring manager "had lost track of time" and needed to reschedule the interview. They were willing to reschedule, so I was understanding and fine with this.
When I had the opportunity to speak with the hiring manager, the conversation was all over the place. They were unable to explain to me the daily tasks -- only that the job involved answering phones and directing calls. Going in, I understood there would be some cross-training/ unpredictable daily tasks due to new operations and the COVID-19 pandemic, but the extremely vague job description I was given on the phone interview did not line up with the job I thought I was interviewing for. The job description should have more clearly updated to reflect these responsibilities before posting on their website.
At the end of the interview, it was described they would only be contacting me if they were interested in moving forward. After thinking more about this unprofessional statement, I decided I would not want to work for a company that believed in 'ghosting' candidates whether I was to advance or not. After taking the time out of multiple days (due to the reschedule) the idea that it was too difficult for the employer to complete a simple, quick task such as sending a follow-up email speaks volumes about their work culture and how employees are treated, if hired.
