I applied through Indeed.com, and 7 days later I received an email requesting for me to call them to set up an interview time. I went to the first interview and spoke with the district manager. He just asked simple interview questions (For example, why do you want to work for Cook out?). It was a total of 8 minutes on the interview. Then, he stated that if they decided to move with me that he will follow up with me to do a background check and set up a second interview. 2 days later he gave me a call back to set up the second interview. Little slime ball forgot to mention that I wouldn't be reimbursed for the background check that I paid out of pocket. The ad on for the position is miss leading. It states that store managers will be making low 40s. However, in the second interview he stated that I would be working no less then 52 hours and that my salary would be 1,200.00 every 2 weeks after 3 months of training my pay would increase to 1,350.00. That is no where near the low 40s that they advertised. I also think that it is extremely unethical that they make future candidates pay for their own background check. Don't waste your time with this place!!

The interview process is more of a presentation. They don't tell you that you will sit in a room with a group of people and watch a power point describing the position. After that, you will have a brief interview with the presenter. I would get there early because I noticed he interviewed people in the order they arrived. The pay is extremely misleading. 17/hr which equates to around 52k per year after overtime. Then it progresses to a flex manager or night manager, all closing shifts. which is slightly higher, and then possibly a GM, but that base pay is not close to what is advertised. I wouldn't waste my time going unless you're comfortable with that pay range for at least a few months. But if you're willing to put in the work, you could possibly make bonuses and get a decent pay. They also do everything with paper, and you fax your orders, etc, saying they don't want you in the office, in my opinion. Is very inefficient and doesn't save time. And no direct deposit as of yet.
