I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Saks Fifth Avenue Stores (SFA) (New York, NY) in May 2024
Interview
The interview went very well with the manager creating a warm and positive atmosphere, setting the mood for a get to know you interview and seeing how you would fit best in the company. It was about 15-30 minutes and I was emailed later on that day with the offer letter.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Saks Fifth Avenue Stores (SFA) (Boca Raton, FL) in Feb 2026
Interview
I left this interview genuinely disappointed. After spending near 18 years of experience in the position I was applying for and building a strong track record with previous employers, I expected a conversation based on professionalism and mutual respect. Instead, the interview felt cold, rush and dismissive. The manager seemed uninterested from the beginning, I was left waiting a long time before starting the interview even though I arrived on time.
I understand interviews are not guarantees of employment, but candidates deserve courtesy regardless the outcome especially if they have extensive experience and an impeccable resume. This company should understand they are a high end store and that should be reflected through their collaborators. This is a transaction between professionals and companies
