      Sales Associate Interview

      23 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at REI (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      One on one with store manager then Group interview. Fairly straight forward. Got job offer the next week then got rejected after background check result came in because of something I have since 16 years ago. Overall bad experience. Company listed as EEO but then reject to review my case and just took the job back. Not sure what equal opportunity employer means at REI. Very disappointed.

      I interviewed at REI

      Interview

      The interview process was simple and over the phone. Then I went in person. She was very nice, but the store manager was a bit off. Ultimately, it just wasn't a good fit.
