I applied online. I interviewed at Smart & Final (Palmdale, CA) in Sept 2023
Interview
One of the worst interviews I've ever had. Employer was completely rude when telling them about my availability and got overly defensive about it. Also lied about the paid holidays and expected me to work every single day with no days off.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Smart & Final (Northridge, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
I went into the store for a brief chat with the manager, the job was a foregone conclusion as I was referred by a friend who was in regional management. It was merely for me to fill out an application form and confirm my interest in the job.
It was evident that the store wasn't the most professional outfit from the outset.
