It was a 2 hour interview ending with a tour of the restaurant. The 3rd and final interview was with the GM of the location in need. It was a great experience. They were very specific with their expectations and needs. Overall very please.

      Associate Manager Interview

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Perrysburg, OH) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      Applied online. I am an internal promotion so the process is slightly different than an external hire. I was interviewed through Montage/webcam. Then they send an assessment test to determine your leadership style. Timed test. If you are willing to relocate you can go to home office training immediately. Otherwise you wait for an open position in your area. When they have a need for you they send you to home office for training.
