      Store Manager Interview

      Apr 5, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DICK'S Sporting Goods

      Interview

      I had an initial phone interview, which lasted about 45 minutes. The recruiter told me the compensation for a store manager was 75k-85k, but that 85k was really tough to get. The position they interview you for is actually to be a bench manager, so you do not run your own store immediately. She mentioned the quickest she has heard of it happening was 4 months, but it sounds like it probably takes longer than that. This seemed very reasonable given that it is a fairly complex job and you'd want time to learn. Other compensation included: cash bonus up to 15% of your salary and some restricted stock options depending on company results. The recruiter was very open to transparent and I appreciated the honesty. Talked about the company have a very competitive culture for stores. This is great for some people, but others might not like this as much. Store volume ranged from 8m-12m, and about 40,000 square ft. One store manager, 2 assistant managers, and around 40 total employees. Training would consist of a 13 week course that happens in 2 different states. Not 100% sure but I believe she said Indianapolis and Chicago for the first 6 weeks, and then 7 weeks somewhere on the East coast. Sounded like a fairly extensive training program.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Really no difficult questions. All were behavior based questions that were really looking for a result that you were able to drive. There was a specific question about improving shrink/shortage, which I had not heard in an interview. Basically, she asked what I have done in the past to improve shrink in my current position.

      Easy interview . Love the process of random selection. Location was good and staff very knowledgeable. Would go back but location was far for me so I took another offer elsewhere
