Job seekers beware of what you are getting in to.
I find this place on Craigs list and got a interview, I looked them up and came to the conclusion that this is a mom and pop store meaning this is not a Franchise or a Corporation so I know that I am not getting paid $40k a year, so I do some research on them and the only way to do this is by looking at all of there 236 reviews one by one.
In my travels threw the reviews I come across some bad ones and that's normal because you can't pleas everyone. I come across a couple of them that caught my attention, they were directed twords the management and the owner..... yes the owner, 2 of them described the owner by fiscal description and his poor attitude twords employees and customers...... Red Flag, but I said to myself lets give it a chance against my better judgment.
Once I get to the location I see that there are about 8 people waiting to be interviewed and that's common practice right, but this is when I come to understand why, my turn comes up I speak to Vinny and he glances at my resume and the first question he asks me is how much am I expecting to get paid and I looked at him a bit confused, so I ask him how do I answer that question so in a attempt to answer his question without throwing out numbers before we even talk I tell him that I did some research and I know I am not getting paid what I have been paid in the past because I know they don't make 1Mill a year, then I asked him he wanted to ask me any questions about me and he sends me to go with the owner for my second interview lol.
So guess what is the first question that the owners asks me? yep you guessed right, how much was I expecting to get paid and I again asked him how am I going to answer, in a attempt again to answer I asked him what his projected sales for the year were and he answers a bit bothered, that is confidential, so trying to get past the awkward question I ask him what he was expecting from me as management and he says to me that he would give me a $8 a hour job for 6 months because I asked him what he was expecting from me, I ask him do they do (WF) weekly financial, do they work with (PNL) profit and lost so I could get a idea and he tells me that my job description is hard work so I think to myself is this guy a clown or what.
Conclusion to this BS is that this guy is headed down a hard road, they will get what they pay for, they are looking for cheap labor and expect you to be his emotional punching bag, he is rude and unprofessional, he takes no time to ask key question about your carrier.
Look at how flawed they are that they don't even take the time to respond to complaints, heads up owner, those people are the ones that put money in your pocket Einstein. Your success will be measured by how you treat your employes, management and over all your costumers!
Now don't take my word for it look up the reviews and the ones about him are true, I had the privilege to find out for myself and plz don't think this is a rant because I didn't get the job, only the truth is said here.
One more thing Michael if you delete my posting as one person said in your reviews you do, I will make a posting on craigslist about this humble experience, nothing that I am saying is defamatory or insulting and I will make it my mission to make this known if this is deleted so just bite the bullet, you brought this on yourself.
