I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LensCrafters (Cleveland, OH) in Feb 2017
Interview
When you apply on-line they will call you to schedule an interview date. If that goes well they will send an offer email to you with your pay rate. Once accepted then you will get an email to do a background check. If you pass that then you should contact your manager to figure a start date and do your pre-boarding paperwork sent to you through an email.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at LensCrafters (Hartford, CT) in June 2017
Interview
I think they will hire anyone with a pulse. They start your pay super low and you will not get full time or benefits. I would say look some where else.
