First I had an "interview" with the manager. I had already worked with her at a precious job so it was very simple. From there I interviewed with the District Manager. It was a terrible experience. She dropped her phone and she didn't seem to be listening to my answers. In the middle of my answers to her questions she would interrupt the answer to her own question and even a couple times basically told me I was wrong and answered her own question with the same thing I said in different phrasing.
It wasn’t anything crazy. They just ask you what your knowledge on the company is and why you wanna work there, your job experience it is pretty simple. Yup yup
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vans (Charlotte, NC) in May 2024
Interview
Very simple, it is easier to get manager positions if you are already within the company or if you started as a sales associate and/or sales lead. Be confident and ready to answer any questions regarding your strengths and weaknesses, give examples of times where you've used your strengths to help other associates They are very focused on sales and KPI's so it's good to bring up how you will bring new ideas to the management team that can help the store excel.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Vans (Santa Rosa, CA) in Jan 2024
Interview
Very smooth and professionally executed, the managers were friendly and asked interesting questions. We met in the food court as the back room was full of recently received stock. The entire process was under 30 minutes.
