Ross Stores Interview Questions.

It's always hard to know what to expect when going in for that interview -- and preparation can make all the difference. What is the interview process like at Ross Stores?

Any advice on striking the right note?

I interviewed for a position at Ross' corporate offices. It was a daunting process. First, I was contacted by the hiring manager. She interviewed me and said she would get back to me with an interview date. Two weeks later I got an interview. I went in and the people I interviewed with weren't prepared. They had no list of questions to ask nor were they taking any notes. This was the first sign that I was wasting my time. Afterwards, I was escorted out. I received a call from HR two weeks later saying that they wanted to do 2nd round interviews. I agreed and went, same story! I left and I received no feedback. Three weeks goes by and they want me to come in for another round of interviews. I declined.

I reached out to the hiring manager and the panel to thank them for the interview after each round and asked for feedback. Not one reply. I would think that if you were in the running for a position that the hiring manager would be engaged in the process. NOPE! I received a offer at a competitor and took that position instead.

If you apply at Ross, based on my experience, be prepared for a lot of waiting. In the mean time, keep looking because the process appears to be very, very long at Ross.

I disagree with the comment above. Although it is unfortunate that the person had to experience that, it is not true for all cases. The interviewing process is not hard, in my opinion. If you are applying for an hourly position, such as a sales associate, cashier, or loss prevention, the interview is not very formal, but they are still professional about it, and take the interviewing process seriously.

I'm sure the interviews go differently for the store/field management opportunities, as well as the corporate/buying office/distribution opportunities.

If you are applying for an hourly store position, I would advise for you to go into the interview with confidence, professionalism, honesty, and just by being yourself. The hiring manager asks you basic questions, such as how you would handle a conflict at work, how you would handle a conflict among another co-worker, an example of how you've demonstrated quality customer service, etc. If you make a good impression on the manager, you will be all set. Hope that helps out.
