      Sales Associate Interview

      2 Jul 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at World Market (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2019

      Interview

      Applied online for the job. Got a call for a GROUP interview a MONTH later. lol They left me a voice mail telling me to set up an interview with Rebecca, Patricia, OR Rachel. Right after I applied to this job A MONTH AGO I applied to a job that I actually got. When I got the message I was confused. Like when did I apply here!? NORMALLY people get back to you MAX 2 weeks. After that it's common sense that you did NOT get the job. I GOT the actual call AT MY NEW JOB! LOL! When I got home I had to look up when I applied here and sure enough I applied May 22 they called me June 28! LOL OVER a month later. WOW! I looked on here to research the company, the reviews were bad. And after the interview I saw that 100% of the negative things said on this site about this company were 100% true. So I called back saying that I will come to the interview. They told me Rachel would interview me on Monday. Keep in mind the person who picked up the phone was lost af. Bad employees = Check! So I show up on Monday and the employees are lost as ever. They tell me no Rachel works here....LOL. They tell me to wait near the tables. A random manager shows up and says she will do the interview because of reasons.....LOL! Lost management = Check! The interview was basic, then she took me on a tour of the store. I have worked retail before and noticed she had an ear piece. Hooked up to a massive battery pack. Their tech being from the 1980's = Check! The store was a mess and basically it seemed as if they did not want to hire me. At the end they said something like the classic 'don't call us we'll call you'. It was honestly a mistake of mine to take a company even seriously when I have a BETTER HIGHER PAYING JOB ALREADY, AND they got back to me a frigging MONTH LATER! How more out of touch can you be!? Lesson learned!!!!!!! Never again!!!!!!!

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at World Market (Fort Collins, CO) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      I was taken to the back and the interview began. The questions were very generic. There was no questions that caught me off guard which was nice. The interview was about 40 minutes long which I thought was shocking but I was nervous at first and the manager made me feel comfortable.
