I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gymboree (Dubuque, IA) in Mar 2014
Interview
The store manager and I shared a brief conversation about my previous experience, then I was asked a series of form questions. The interview concluded with a role play of my sales skills. I was subjected to a background, and employment eligibility check, which took less than two weeks, but can take longer for other candidates.

Process took about 2 weeks total - 2 interviews one with the district manager and then with the store manager.
