I had to fill out an application and it took them about two to three weeks to call me about an interview. There was one interview and after it they called to see when I could go in to fill out paperwork and when I could start my training. They also do a background check.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to talk about myself which I found to be difficult.
Interview was extremely basic. Questions were asked such as 'Name a time in which you experienced great customer service' or 'What would you do in this situation (saw someone stealing from the store, unruly customers, etc.)' It was a group interview as well, so be prepared in case you have to go against any other interviewees.

Question 1
What would you do to help the company's customer retention and turnover rates?
I filled out an application, got a phone call, came in and met with the manager. She asked a few questions and I was offered the job. I took it ad I did not like the job I was offered at another store.
