I applied online. I interviewed at Whataburger (Murfreesboro, TN) in May 2025
Interview
I interviewed with the operating partner (GM) at a local store. From there, I received a phone call from the District Manager and we had an impromptu, informal phone interview. Following that, I met with another operating partner of the store they wanted me to work at and the District Manager. I was offered the job and started the hiring process but ultimately turned it down due to a competing offer with my current company. I love the emphasis on the work life balance they offer as well as the PTO and overall benefits but ultimately went where the title and the money was.

Normal interview and normal check if I can do things properly, check if can do kitchen job, check if I can use their system, it was normal conversation and they took me to kitchen to check
