Very soon after applying to Ross, I was called on the phone for a quick interview. At the end of the interview, I was asked to come in the next day for a one-on-one interview with the manager. During that face-to-face interview, the manager was impressed by my educational background and offered me a job in the cash office contingent on my background check. I was told that they would not have normally hired me because I was a college graduate, but the store needed somebody intelligent because the current cash office people weren't smart enough to do their job correctly; these two statements in succession put me off greatly, but I accepted the job anyway because I had nothing else at the moment. I noticed that the people who worked there looked very tired, but the store looked impeccably clean up front. Unfortunately, the manager's office and stock area was horribly disorganized.
