      Sales Associate Interview

      19 Sept 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Denver, CO
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (Denver, CO)

      Interview

      I was invited in for the interview process; starting with a group interview. The managers were very unprepared and the interview started 20 minutes late. My group interview also consisted of just myself as they were unable to get any other applicants to come in at that time. It was a very awkward process as the interview was held on the sales floor with guests walking around. I was not offered a position and I am positive it is because they wanted to only offer a part time position and I was looking for a full time position (which is what I applied for). I expressed that I wanted to work full time but they told me that they start their full time staff with only a few hours each week. I let them know that this would probably not be feasible for me. Had I been extended an offer, I would have declined due to the fact that the management was so unorganized and unprofessional in the interview process.
