I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ace Hardware (Vāshi) in Jan 2020
Interview
Nothing much rude employees. Didn't exactly had the knowledge to take the interview. They directly or indirectly spend so much of time on illogical questions. Then only certain questions were interview related
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Ace Hardware (Fort Myers, FL)
Interview
The process was easy once you are able to get your resume reviewed which is hard. Which I was not able to get any communication until I attended an on-site job fair.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ace Hardware (Petaling Jaya)
Interview

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ace Hardware (Rathdrum, ID) in Jan 2025
Interview
Group interview of 9 individuals.
Questions directed individually - required to answer publically
They required several tasks that seem ridiculous. One being playing with legos for 3 minutes as they "evaluate you".
All directed questions are scored by manament.
Overall, the entire process seemed unrealistic for the occupational standards. In other words - overboard is an understatement. You're not applying into lawenforcement or Nasa.. CSR work is not rocket science and the skillset needed is trivial at best.
Unprofessional, unrealistic expectations and highly missleading.
