Question 1
Scheduling and atmosphere handling escalations/high pressure situations.
I applied online. I interviewed at VCA in May 2015
Interview
There really wasn't much of an interview with the hospital manager. The CSR supervisor (who technically isn't a supervisor on paper) did the interview and working interview. I was never drug tested or given a yearly review the whole time i've worked here.

Question 1
They really didn't ask much. We talked about my prior vet experience and asked me to come in for a working interview.
It's like I interviewed with a 12 year old. The HM was 40 minutes late. They asked illegal questions. They never read my resume. There was a "skills assessment" which was the most laughably disrespectful thing I've ever seen. I've worked with fantastic public companies before, but this one really highlighted their red flags and answered the question why everyone quit. I work for their competitor now. Ask someone who works there, they definitely gatekeep and discriminate.

Quick and manager was nice. Just review on past experiences especially with customer facing experiences. It was an initial phone interview then an in person interview that was mostly a conversation and was comfortable. Talked about available hours.
