      Assistant Buyer Interview

      15 Dec 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dallas, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Dallas, TX)

      Interview

      Interviewed with two recruiters and 5 buyers from different categories. Communication was quick but towards the end I received no follow up on the outcome. I reached out twice with no response. I feel that’s the least they could do after taking so much time off with my current company. I also noticed that honest reviews from other candidates for this role were removed from 2020 and onward. Many things like being overworked and outdated systems were mentioned. Many people mentioned that the position fit the description of an Associate Buyer. With that, this wouldn’t be the type of company I’d like to work for anyways.

      Question 1

      What determinations would you and your Buyer consider when choosing new items?

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JCPenney (Plano, TX)

      Interview

      The process was very seamless. Everyone on the human resources team was professional and lovely to deal with. They encouraged reaching out with any questions. One note is to come prepared with questions for you to ask.
