Be prepared for a very lengthy interview process. I was first contacted from a national recruiter by email. After completing an initial phone interview, I then did a 2nd interview in person with A local GM. Upon completing that interview, I did a 3rd phone interview with a regional HR director. The next step was a "route ride along" that lasted all day (7:30-4:00). The final step was an interview a hour in a half away with a regional VP six weeks after the initial contact. During this entire interview process, I was given positive feedback each step of the way and was encouraged things were progressing toward an offer. At the conclusion of the final interview with the regional VP, I would hear back within a couple business days. I waited a week without being contacted so I emailed the GM asking for update which I did receive the next day stated they "decided to go in another direction." The entire interview process is lengthy and very time consuming taking 7 weeks from start to finish. Each interview lasted between 30-45 minutes as well as the ride along that took all day in addition to having to drive 3 hours round trip to the final interview. After investing that much time and effort into an interview process that I believed was progressing nicely then not hear anything back without me having to reach out to them first was very disappointing.

Still in the process- step 1: recruiter pre-screen call step 2: General Manager in person next step- may take several weeks but if move forward will have zoom with regional and then VP. If a turn down is not received then you are still being considered for the role. For me, step 1+2 happened within 5 days. TBD if I move to 2-3
