Entretien
I was contacted by the General Area Director for a phone screening then invited to an in person interview. My in person interview was with 2 General Area Directors and a Store Manager. The in person interview was about 1.5 hours long. I felt comfortable with those asking the questions and the process as they defined the culture. My disappointment came from after the process whereby my thank you email was responded to with a "i'll definitely be in touch by the end of the following week" which sounded promising. I did not get a response as mentioned in the email. So when I wrote back, I was told they had other candidates to still interview and that they would get back to me by the middle of the week. That also did not happen. On the next day I received an email stating that they had one more person to meet with and that they would get back to me after doing so. All still sounded somewhat promising. Finally at the end of the week, one week past the prior commitment, I received a rejection voicemail. I was strung along during this whole process.

Disappointed that after what seemed like promising interviews, one over the phone and one in person, I am not given the courtesy of any feedback. Multiple follow up emails and texts later, still nothing. At least have the decency to say I did not get the job instead of just leaving me hanging.

I was contacted very quickly for an invite to a group interview. There were 6 of us, all good candidates I thought. The interview was very professional, conducted by the General Manager and a store manager. They asked you to watch different segments of a company video, then wanted each candidates input. The only thing that could have been handled better was the GM was very focused on the gal sitting next to me. It was quite obvious he was zeroing in on her - which, I can't fault him, she was cute, young and had good answers. Just wish he wasn't so obvious. Be prepared to work all shifts and all jobs and LOVE doing it. Also you will be working in other stores in the area.

Question 1
Instead of asking "tell me about yourself", they asked "what brought you to the Container Store?" The rest of the questions were pretty general.
