We did a group interview with 2 other people. They asked pretty straightforward questions about my work experience, my favorite scent, why I wanted to work there, and my availability. The manager was super nice and friendly.

The interview process was pretty straightforward and professional. After I sent in my application, they reached out to set up a chat with someone from the store leadership. We talked about my past retail work, how I handle customers, and if I can handle a busy place. They also asked me stuff about how I help hit sales targets and make customers happy. It was a friendly talk, mostly to see if my skills and what I believe in fit with the brand and the team.

Behavioral
It was a short interview with basic questions, nothing too difficult. The job itself is quite unstable with very limited hours, though the employee discount is a major perk. I personally wouldn't recommend it due to the inconsistency. Some managers were great, others were quite condescending.
