      Store Manager Interview

      20 Mar 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Tampa, FL
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Kmart (Tampa, FL) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      There are many steps in the interview process and the process is very slow. Once you do get through all the hoops and you are made an offer the training program is great but you could be waiting for the next class to start.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard interview questions are used during all levels of interview. Sometimes you will be asked to walk the sales floor and talk about things you see. Be careful here this can come back to bite you if you down the store too much.

      Store Manager Interview

      23 Mar 2018
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Kmart (New York, NY) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      First got a pre-screening phone call from Recruiter, then a Total of 6 interviews. NE Recruiter, Store Manager, District Manager, Regional Operations Manager, Regional HR Manager, and VP os Stores. Overall, it was a great experience. Good vibe from every person in every single interview. While it was way too long for my taste, it was a smooth process. Once one gets an offer after the interviews, you have to do a drug test, and fill out other regular paperwork electronically.

      Question 1

      Why Kmart? What is something you would like to improve on? What's your biggest success? What makes you a great leader? How do you hold people accountable? What's your management style? Are you willing to relocate? Why should we hire you over other applicants

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Kmart (Hagerstown, MD) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      applied on line, phone interview, in person interview. Process was easy but too long, face to face interview person was rude and not very knowledgeable. Interview was held in the office at he store which was very unorganized and dirty. Get being interrupted by phone and people knocking on the door.
