Question 1
the interview question were what one would expect for a position like this. Basically, when are you available, do you have computer acess, things like that.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Greetings (Philadelphia, PA) in Oct 2016
Interview
The whole process dragged out for a month until I decided to decline. Initially it seemed promising. I applied online through Indeed. Corporate called me and scheduled immediately the automated phone interview. I answered 7 questions with 3 minutes to respond to each one. The questions given to me was basically to see what my retail background was and standard questions like can I work alone, etc. A couple of days later I received an email from the person in charge of hiring looking forward to speaking with me. I emailed right away and please let me know what was a good time. When I didn't hear back the day she suggested I called the number and left a vm. A week goes by with a "sorry it's been so crazy in the territory" email am I still interested? I called, left vm and then followed up with another email. By that point, I did have a few questions of my own which she did answer in email. I was still interested but didn't hear back from her for another week. She called, left a vm again saying how it had been so crazy, then emailed again. At this point I lost all interest in the job. Glassdoor has been a great resource to get a feel how companies are run. It seems like if you have a good manager it can be a nice PT job. My gut said this manager was very disorganized/overwhelmed. How can I do a good job if she's never available/hard to contact/does not keep her word. Was not the right fit. I am too mature and experienced to deal with this run around. Based on other reviews it seemed like a total slave labor position.

Question 1
Was I comfortable working alone and keeping in touch with my supervisor
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Greetings in Aug 2016
Interview
The phone interview was difficult it was all automated they only gave you 3 minutes to prepare and complete your answer per question. I had never done a phone interview but did not care for it at all. After the phone interview I was contacted about 3 days later for a in store interview. Which turned out not to be an interview, I was actually told there was no open position in my area and had never been an open position in my area. Talk about unprofessional!!!!
