      Department Manager Interview

      10 Jun 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Riverside, CA
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sears (Riverside, CA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      Long and stupid, multiple interviews with different managers all asking the same questions, and telling you all the same lies like "sears isn't going out of business" or "its a great place to work" "like a big family" (most dysfunctional family on the planet)
