Entretien
I filled out an online interview and took their personality quiz after which I was instructed to call the store and set up an interview. The associate who set the interview put down my name and told me when to come in a few days later.
When I arrived at the store, there were customers shopping in the store and sales associates leaning on the sales counter. I approached a sales associate and gave them my name and told them that I was there to interview with the manager. They instructed me to shop and look around while they got him. During this time, I noted that the store was DESTROYED. There were tank tops that I think probably should have been folded hanging off of shelves in wads and by their straps, tshirt tables in complete chaos, jeans on the floor, etc... and still... associates hanging onto the only place in the store vacant of customers....the check out counter.
The manager came out and asked me if I was in school, and told him I wasn't. He asked me what I thought I could contribute to the team. I outlined my previous experience with Buckle and as a manager and he smiled and nodded. After that, he thanked me for my time and said they would call to let me know. There was never a phone call letting me know either way, which I understood as the expectation at the end of the interview.
In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't get the job. Managing a bunch of people who are allowed by their store manager to stand around and allow the store to look like that doesn't sound like fun at all. I'm sure it would have been a learning experience, but at what cost to my sanity?

Question 1
There really weren't any 'difficult' questions asked. Actually, there really weren't any specific business questions asked at all.

Interviewing was done on the sales floor, it was quiet other than a customer flirting with an employee for 20 mins while I waited to be interviewed. Store manager was in basic casual, it seemed like a "mom with kids" scenario. Heavy aura to fit in, stereotypical teen, metro sexual, hipster, soccer mom type styles. You aren't going to get hired there unless you wear the brand, and either be an adolescent or have the personality of one. They'll tell you about how long it will take to hear an answer, said it would be a week to sound like they have a ton of applicants, which may be true since the job posting is indefinite, but got a rejection notice in hours after and heavy retail experience seems mundane to hiring manager felt like they were false and fake, pay is low for this position and only good for a part-time job, seems unreliable for full-time.

The first interview went really well but after looking at my resume the manager gave me a choice on if I wanted the assistant manager job or to go for a visual merchandiser position they have open. I love to do that, so I said yeah that would be an even better fit for me. I have many years in merchandising and one year in management. He told me I will need to apply for that position and then come back in for another interview. I went online, the position wasn’t there. I called and he said he needs to add it on there it should only take a day. A week went by, still not there. Called again and he said sorry he’s been busy and will add it. Finally he adds it, I apply, 2 weeks later get call to come in for another interview. Goes well and then another 2 week later after that he calls and tells me that he doesn’t need a merchandiser anymore? He only needs a part time sales associate. I say ok I can do that for now and then later on move up in the company, he says ok awesome he will call me back with more info. He calls a week later and says he’s not sure if the position would be a good fit for me? Tells me to come in and do a test run first and WORK WHILE NOT BEING PAID!? I’m just like are you serious at this point and declined the offer. The whole experience was a waste of my time and he lead me on thinking I was going to get hired, told me to apply for a job that they didn’t need filled and took 2 months with the whole process. Instead of hiring me on for a part time sales associate that I’m way over qualified for, he wanted me to work for free first. Ridiculous.

I applied online and got a phone call to schedule an interview within a couple of weeks. Come the day of, I waited around for about 15 minutes past the scheduled time. The actual interview took no more than 20 minutes and was with two managers. It felt rushed and pointless, I was only asked 2 or 3 actual questions pertaining to the position, everything else was me listening to one of them speak, and asking me about the timeline of my career. He was very quick to take over, and seemed defensive after I explained what my present duties were. The interview ended very abruptly, it seemed unnatural and like it was being timed. I left there being told "we'll call you", and the only thing i learned about the position was that I would be working with other managers to hold others accountable, and that they don't hire "debbie downers". Hands down worst interview experience I've had, but it does match the pattern I've seen while looking at other people's interview experiences.
