      Assistant Manager Interview

      28 Jan 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Moreno Valley, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Harbor Freight Tools (Moreno Valley, CA) in Oct 2013

      Interview

      The worst interview I have been through. I showed up at 10am, waited a few minutes for the interview to start, the General Manager kept getting up to answer calls. He did not schedule the day to meet his business needs. He appeared disorganized and overwhelmed. I waited in the office for 2 hours, then he walked in and asked me to return the next day. I did. The next day I show up, we officially start the interview. For about 20 minutes I listen to the GM talk about how great he is and how much other companies he has worked for want him back. He apologizes for the previous day and begins to explain why there was a spike in business. I think, if you knew this ahead of time, why were you not ready to meet your customers and business demands? In summary, I left the interview knowing more information about the interviewing manager and his past. We did not discuss my qualifications in detail.

      Phoenix, AZ
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Harbor Freight Tools (Phoenix, AZ) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      Very process lengthy long wait period. I have a lot of experience and more experience than most of there store Managers. I always had a low cut in my entire experience this time I decided to grow my hair. I know being black this isn’t acceptable with certain management positions I feel and know I was very well discriminated against it’s no reason why I should have passed on to two different store managers and had to go out my way for the interview and still wasn’t chosen. I have not seen to many African Americans in the Arizona stores getting hired at this company where is the diversity and need to stop discriminating I was willing to take a huge loss in pay for an assistant role for a work life balance. They gave me the run around so bad never had any issues with landing any manager job until I grew my hair I hope this gets resolved but this company from my experience discriminates

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing to say just wish they do better than to discriminate against black individuals especially the ones who decide to have a different hairstyle than a low cut.
