I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Allentown, PA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Applied online and got emailed a week later to call and set up an interview. Called a week later, set up the interview and arrived 10 minutes early. I told the cashier I was there for an interview and was directed to a table to sit and wait. I waited for 15-20 minutes when the first manager walked out with a beyond disinterested attitude. I answered a few basic questions and he went back to get the next manager to do my second interview on the spot.
There the guy was a bit nicer, but made me feel like my answers were bad and that the whole interview was going awkwardly. He was an awkward fellow, but I toughed it out. He offered me the job after I asked what the training entailed. It was CRAZY what they wanted to do after I was done with the training, like mini-interviews etc.
I declined, after being told my hours would be few and the pay was minimum wage.
