Kroger interview questions

The entire process of setting up the interview was unprofessional. I missed the first call, so I called back. They answered and said, “Oh yes, umm,” and then I heard silence for one minute. I asked how their day was going and they cut the call. (Weird..) I called back 5 minutes later.. and then the entire call required ME to carry the conversation and ask about scheduling the interview that they wanted me to do. I call the day before the interview the confirm that the pharmacist still knows I’m coming. The person says they’ll leave a note for someone else to call me THE DAY OF to see if it’s “still okay.” Next day, I receive no call. I call and say I was supposed to receive a call. The pharmacist answers and says I can come today, but suggests a different time. I go in and do my best with the part time position interview. No issues except for the fact that the pharmacist asked odd questions that went on for 5 minutes to where you don’t even know what the main question is anymore. I get told that I will hear back in a FEW WEEKS. (For a busy store that needs help? Okay.) Received an email that they’re moving forward at this time. No offer. I was very gracious with everything that happened, but now this is ridiculous. Next!

I was really excited for the opportunity to interview with the team at Springdale Ice Cream & Beverage. I was even more excited when they told me their interview process consisted of only one interview. However, that's where the problem begins. I went for the in-person interview, which was approximately an hour away. I asked if they could be flexible and conduct the interview online, in order to save some money with gas prices. Nope. They didn't show any flexibility. Okay, fine. Not a HUGE deal. Had the interview, which I thought went really quite well. Well enough to at least be considered a serious candidate. Well, apparently they didn't think so, because I never heard from their HR lead again. It's been nearly 2 months since the interview; I've sent multiple email follow-ups AND a voicemail message, and still they've never reached back out. Insanely unprofessional, and has left a very sour taste in my mouth for them as a distributor, and for Kroger who allows such unprofessional behavior. If this was any I dication as to how they worked as a company, then maybe I dodged a bullet.
