I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports (Peoria, IL) in Jan 2014
Interview
It was basic behavioral questions. They just wanted to know that you were able to interact with others and hold a conversation. There was no previous job experience required. Although they did want to know that you had some sales experience or experience working with customers. The interview was friendly and relaxed.
I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports (Fort Collins, CO)
Interview
It was about 30 minutes long. The manager asked me basic questions about myself and the job. He wanted to know my availability and if I were able to unload the truck due to the boxes being heavy.
Simple and transparent process. After applying, was asked to come in to interview in person. Interview was professional and took around 45 minutes. Heard back from hiring manager within a week.
