I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at El Pollo Loco (Victorville, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
8AM interview and nobody answered the door. Later, waited in dining area 10 min past interview scheduled time. Wrote my name/number/email on blank paper and was told maybe I'll get a call. Interrupted me when I tried to ask questions and seemed to not like me because I was looking for a second job.
