Very negative. 4 stages, application, video interview, in person interview and finally in-store experience. I read the negative reviews for the deputy manager position before applying, but gave it a go anyway. Unfortunately, I had a similarily negative experience. After going through the entire process, lasting well over a month, I was offered a store assistant role at a different store to the one I applied for. At no point during the process was I asked if I was interested in being considered for this different role, nor was I even given feedback for my actual application. I was simply sent an offer for a different job with no explanation! The in-store experience was a very brief chat to the store manager and a tour of the store. During this process the deputy manager position wasn't discussed and looking back it seems I was being considered for the store assistant at this stage (if not before), not deputy manager but I wasn't told this before I attended. I have made a complaint because I feel my time was wasted going to the final stage when it was clearly for a different, lower paying and less senior role, than I had applied for. Also, all of the in store process happened at a different store to the one I'd applied for. I thought this was due to where the area manager was located, but I was ultimately offered the position at this store so I now have my doubts. This store was outside of the wide area I had said I was willing to travel to for the job, so again I was ignored here. Having checked again all of the stores in my area are apparently looking for deputy store managers. I have a feeling I wasted my time from the very start.
