      Sales Associate Interview

      Jun 7, 2018

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Olympia, WA) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      I applied July 2017, I was called for interview a month later in August. My interview was conducted in the morning just after the store opened. The hiring manager interviewed me on the sales floor next to the entrance and registers. It lasted less than 15min. I was relieved this manager was not bothered that my daughter was with me in her stroller, I don't have childcare except during my husbands off hours from his job. I could tell this manager was multitasking, managing employees by walkie talkie while also interviewing me. I was naturally nervous but this manager was personable and easy to converse with once I got to talk to her.

      Question 1

      If you do not have childcare, how will you ensure you can make it to each scheduled shift?

      Thank you for your review! Your comments reflect what our company values most- our people. Our managers work hard to lead effective teams and run their store; and sometimes the job requires them to juggle more than two things at once. We are so happy that you felt at ease during your interview and we are glad to have you be a part of our team!

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Ross Stores

      Interview

      Very awkward over all, they kept trying to 'trick' me by changing up certain words and seeing if id catch the change in the question. Also put you on some super old school website training.

      Question 1

      They asked if I was someone who got hurt often or had bad things happen to me often
