Equinox interview questions

Very abrupt and unprofessional interview by a membership representative, not even a hiring manager or human resource person. The interviewer quickly stated that I was overqualified but Assistant Manager is the highest they bring anyone into management as they promote internally. I explained that I was aware of this and was willing to take a step back if I felt there was long term growth potential and felt confident I could progress quickly. The interviewer pointed out quickly that my salary requirement on application was too high and asked directly "what the lowest pay you would accept"-again I explained that at this stage I was really interested in finding the right opportunity and company I felt had growth but she kept insisting I give her a bottom line number. Some advice- have a professional do your interviews- not a membership rep and if someone lists their salary requirements and it is too high, don't call and waste their time.
