      Retail Sales Associate Interview

      Aug 16, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Raleigh, NC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Earthbound Trading (Raleigh, NC) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      It was a very chill and welcoming interview. However the Assistant Manager was caught off guard by me showing up and wasn't aware that there would even be a job fair, the Texas HR scheduled SIX INTERVIEWS without even informing the management. The interview went amazingly, however she was already over staffed and could only offer me a position for seasonal in 6 weeks. I'm not upset with the assistant manager or HR but i am irritated at the obvious LACK OF COMMUNICATION in the companies upper management. the cons in the reviews all mostly list this exact fact. you need to get yourselves together. however even saying that the HR women was pleasant and kind to the AM about the miscommunication.

      Retail Sales Associate Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Hanover, MD
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Earthbound Trading (Hanover, MD) in May 2024

      Interview

      The interview was relaxed, and the manager interviewing me was polite and courteous. I was asked about previous retail experience, dealing with customers in difficult situations, and being a team player. I was never asked about the company itself, why I wanted to work there, or why I thought I was a good fit. I got a lot of questions about the two chain stores I briefly worked at. There were no direct questions about the small business that I was a keyholder at. Before I could ask when to expect an offer, the manager assured me that I would hear back from her by the end of the day, whether I was chosen or not. She emphasized this twice, but nobody from Earthbound Trading ever called me back.
