I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sonic in Mar 2011
Interview
After submitting an application, called the manager at this location to request an interview. Was able to set up the interview for the next day. This was appreciated she was willing and able to get me in the next day. Was made to feel I was important with such a quick responce to my request for a meeting. Was asked about myself, if I had been looking long for a job, given general information about what was expected inregard to appearance and attire. Asked if I could start right away.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sonic (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2026
Interview
interview was okay, interviewer was engaged and attentive. I came in with zero experience and they seemed to not mind. They kept me around after the first interview for a second round and then sent me home. did not hear back
Short. Just asked me what I can do and when I wanted to work. No real questions that relate to the position or what my previous experience is. Really disappointed.
