Sat in a conference room for nearly two hours alongside 12-15 additional candidates. The excuse given was that the general manager was suddenly out ill with the flu. Mind you, it’s June! Anyway, I sat for an extended period of time. At some point a supervisor finally selected me and three others to interview. We made our way to an open foyer area near the car rental desk and sat another 15-20 minutes. The supervisor then escorted us to a company VIP break room for a simple “hello, how are you”. The process was no more than five minutes of lofty banter, no real questions or answers. What’s super odd is that I was given a callback the next day, but for a smaller position. I initially went for a reservations position (forgive me, I don’t recall the exact position title). I declined the interview based on several factors: 1. I was literally the only male in shirt and tie and your 2nd interview request is for a lesser position? 2. The “holding conference room” was chaotic and though we signed a sign in sheet, no one kept track at all. 3. They kept bragging about the company and its family environment…well, it’s one big dysfunctional family and I’m uninterested and definitely unimpressed. The great feeling I get is this company has HIGH turnover.

The interview was great. I interviewed at the same time with 4 other people.They asked how we would handle the job and certain aspects of the job as it pertains to working with the public. The manager/interviewer was very nice.
