Asked if willing to work 70 hour weeks, clean bathrooms, shovel snow, work unexpected hours or location due to coverage. Was told lower associates are paid/treated poorly. Not a good impression.

Interview
I had a informal sit-down interview at a Stationstore. The interviewer asked good, open-ended questions to gauge my responses. It was a typical retail question and answer session.

Question 1
There were no "curve balls". Any good interviewer has a favorite question they like to ask to solicit honest responses and size you up as an employee.

Interview
At first it seemed like the manager was interested in getting to know me and wanted to make sure I was interested in the job. All of the questions are the same generic "What would you do in this position?" and "What if you found money on the floor?"
It almost seemed as thought they were willing to care. What they don't tell you during the interview is the rate at which people are fired, what it actually expected of you, the workload, the pay, the hours, and what the upper management is like.

Question 1
All of the questions asked are very basic, very easy to answer. The worst question is when they asked: "An employee is late several days out of the week. What would you do in this situation?" There isn't a right answer if its not "Fire them on the spot."
