Long but very thoughtful interview process. You can tell there is great communication throughout the company with how the interview is structured and you are not repeating yourself to everyone person.

I applied on Linkedin and was contacted by a recruiter within 2 weeks. The first part of the process was a phone screen, and then I moved into in-person interviews. I had 5 interview rounds in total, all of which I felt were important. My only frustration was that when I asked why I didn't get the role after 5 interviews, I wasn't given a reason and then found the role was still open. I would have appreciated a bit more clarity, especially given how far along I was in the process.

I was initially contacted by a recruiter regarding potential leadership opportunities. During our first conversation, I was told they were proactively exploring upcoming roles, though no specific position or details were shared. In my second interview with a leader who had been with the company for approximately four months, the discussion remained fairly general. Only after I asked more direct questions about the role did I learn that leadership responsibilities are highly segmented. The position I was being considered for focused solely on sales leadership, without ownership of several operational functions typically associated with a store manager role. For example, scheduling is handled through corporate, while merchandising and receiving are managed by separate leaders. After completing two interviews, I did not receive any follow-up or formal communication regarding the outcome. Shortly afterward, another recruiter from the company contacted me again about the same “potential leadership opportunities.” When I replied explaining that I had already completed two interviews and shared the names of the individuals involved, I did not receive a response. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and lacked transparency regarding the role and hiring process.
