My interview was very straightforward, and it was a 2 step process. The first interview was with the HR department to see if I was a good fit for the company. After a week of waiting, I had an interview with the Front Desk Manager / Chief of Finance / House Keeping Manager, all at the same time.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Holiday Inn (Brookline, MA)
Interview
The front desk manager arrived 30 minutes late for my interview and conducted it in a rushed manner, treating me as if I were a burden during our interview process.
Horrible, disorganized and rude interviewer, was late showing up, had an attitude. Tried forcing me to accept a job that paid under min wage, double sometimes triple shifts, one employee quit during my interview, tried making it a working interview, walked up behind me and looked down my shirt
