Interview
After driving 100 miles to get to my fourth interview the district manager did not show up for our appointment...after waiting an hour the GM of the particular location we were to meet at informed me Id have to come back for a 5th interview to meet w the gentleman the appointment was originally set with and then for some reason conducted an identical interview to the 3rd interview that was also 100 miles away. During 100 mile drive home today Ive tried calling the "recruiter" numerous times to explain how disappointed I am and sent an email.

I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panda Express (Burien, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Lengthy conversation with Training Manager and Area Manager. May be invited to working interview with trainer to show off skills. Job offer after if you are acceptable. Area Manager looked like they needed sleep and was very unenthusiastic. The training manager seemed upbeat and eager to interview. Debra Lee is a joke. You will be bombarded with questions, it doesn't matter how you answer, Debra decided when you sat down.

Question 1
What are your 3 main values? How do you achieve these in your daily life? Standard questions and then weirdly invasive ones.

Good interview process so far. Couple of interview then they do a hands on w lariat ion in store. After that they do final interview with Regional operations manager. It seems like a lot but they seem to want only top talent.
