      Training Manager Interview

      Accepted offer

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Jimmy John's (Champaign, IL) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      I applied online for a Training Manager position for Jimmy John's. It's a total of 3 interview processes. The first interview was a group interview, meaning, I was interviewed in the same room as my competition. The interview was fun and really relaxed. It was basically a personality interview, so don't be nervous about it and be honest. 2nd interview is an email interview. 3rd is a one on one. The job wasn't what I was looking for: 60 hours a week, with only Sundays off, NO sick days ever (which was a turn off, why would I work around food if I'm sick?), no vacation until you've worked there for a year, $38,000 starting salary, with training lasting 6 months. They said they give health benefits, but they aren't the best. The job basically was training employees and telling store owners how to run their shop, you'd do everything from mopping to making sandwiches. It just wasn't for me, the hours were constantly changing weekly with am shifts to pm and pm to am. 12 hour work days. No paper work, just emails. If you don't have a social life, this job is for you!

      I interviewed at Jimmy John's (Houston, TX) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      Very easy, 15 minute discussion about previous experience in the food industry. Just asked about my past education and my abilities to fulfill the role that I applied for. It was a casual conversation and the communicated well.

      Manager In Training Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Jimmy John's (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2012

      Interview

      The interviews were conducted in groups, which was kind of awkward. The owner eliminated one guy immediately for having a slightly visible tattoo on his arm, despite not having said anything about it before the interview. He wound up asking about my catering experience and had me plan out an entire catering menu for a party he was throwing. I spent several hours over the next two days planning an entire party, pricing it out, tracking down coos and servers to assist with the event and nearly renting out equipment. When I submitted my menu, he loved it. The next day he told me the party was cancelled so I had to call the cooks and servers and tell them their was no gig anymore. It was embarrassing.

      Question 1

      The catering thing was definitely unexpected and weird.
