      Cashier Interview

      28 Apr 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Fort Collins, CO
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at REI (Fort Collins, CO) in Apr 2011

      Interview

      I was contacted about a week after I applied online by a store associate and asked some basic screening questions. At the end of the call, she set me up for a group interview about a week later. Maybe it was the store's location in a "progressive" area (read: emphasizing teamwork over competition so no one's precious self esteem is hurt), but the group interview was pretty ridiculous. No direct questions were asked and I felt like I was doing a silly high school group project... Even for a cashier position (the interview included candidates for cashiers and sales associates), they seemed to expect expertise on a range of outdoor sports. That seems to bias it toward people who have money to spend on these things, which doesn't include me. On the plus side, they outlined the company's values clearly and did contact me before the latest date they gave at the interview.

      I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at REI (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2024

      Your normal mid level job assessment, and questions. Make sure you have hiking, or some outdoor activity on your mind. They want to make sure you know about who they are, and what they sell.
