      Front Desk Interview

      Apr 15, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Rome, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Rome, GA)

      Interview

      Interview process was fairly straightforward. I submitted an application and was interviewed a couple of days after. I found out that I had gotten the job the same day that I interviewed, so the waiting period was not long at all. The interview was a behavioral one, so it was not very difficult. I got the sense that they wanted to see how well the job would fit into my personality given the types of questions.

      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at The Y (YMCA)

      Interview

      The interview itself isn't all too bad. However, with only one employee in HR (Oregon Location), the rest of the process took over a month. After accepting their offer letter and asking about my first day, I was ghosted for about a week.
