I completed the online app on the 7-Eleven website and the following day received an email from a recruiter. He set up an interview with him over the phone a couple days later. After a short 15 minute phone interview with him, they had me take a short, 35 question online personality test. I passed that and he set an interview with me and two market managers for the following week. The next day, they moved me along to the next stage, a ride-a-long with a current FC. I spent a half day with her, during which time I had to take a short math/personality test which consisted of approximately 25 questions. After my time with the FC, I was moved along to the final steps, which were two nearly identical phone interviews with the zone manager and the HR manager on two different days the following week.
In general, it was a fairly simple interview process. However, it was completely drawn out. Most of the interviews were identical to one another; you would think the zone managers would trust their market managers' feedback versus spending more time asking the same questions over and over. This type of interview often leads me to believe the culture of the corporation could be exceptionally micromanaging and controlling, and that typically is not a good fit for my personality.
In the end, the recruiter called me and said they were offering the position to the other person who made it to the final stages, but they were interested in keeping me on deck for a position when it opens. I agreed to continue staying in the running, but I'm not 100% sure I would accept the position if offered. It really seems to be a lot of work, but if the paycheck is there, it could be worthwhile.
