I applied to Burlington in south suburbs of Chicago IL when they posted a sign on the main road. It took a month to schedule a phone interview after I had applied.
The manager I was talking to offer $12/hr for a sales floor associate position for FULL TIME. The manager I was talking to was going to be the one for our new store and was laughing the whole time, and put me on hold twice for some reason?
I asked what the benefits were of full time, esp with it only at $12/hr and being expected to work when needed and on holidays. He just responded: yeah there were benefits and didn't explain further.
He asked some simple interview Q's and I had brought up my attending college and he immediately switched to trying to get me off the phone and not offer any employment.
I told him MULTIPLE times I need steady work while attending college. I've worked 2 jobs and attended a nursing program at the same time. Literally just needing a job with consistent hours and at least minimum wage.
So the manager offered me a part time position for the same rate and I'm debating taking it now. I'm still reeling from the phone interview convo that took maybe 7 minutes.
What the heck? Not only the dollar amount but it was extremely unprofessional and maybe if I bike from where I live (not longer than 10min), I could save more pennies on the dollar. Everyone's telling me not to do retail but no other jobs I've applied to have even sent me back a rejection letter.
