      General Manager Interview

      29 Jun 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at The Container Store in Mar 2013

      Interview

      My interview experience was great but long. It started with a phone interview in March and ended 15 interviews later with an offer in December. I interviewed with the Area Manager, existing General Manager, both Store Manager's conducted an interview. Then the Regional Manager. I then had a facetime interview with the Vice President of Stores. After that I was flown to Dallas,the home office, where I had 8 interviews in one afternoon. The company provided a profile of each person whom I would be speaking with so I could tailor the questions to their job title. At the last minute several of the interviewees were changed out so I had to wing it. Overall the interview process was a bit long but I learned a lot about the company and what they are looking for.
