It was a super chill interview, felt really friendly. Like, unless they already know you're not a fit, you're basically good to go for the job right away. Mine was right at the front of the store, so just be ready for anything, you know?

It was really easy, they just went over my resume and asked about my availability. I got hired right away, which might be a red flag since this job is awful and the managers expect you to do a million things. They also always hand the phone to me to take calls even though they're the ones stocking and not constantly on the phone.

The whole process took me about two months. My initial application got lost, so I had to fill out another one when I came into the store to check on it. After I submitted the second application, it was about a week and a half before they called me to set up an in-person interview with the manager, which was scheduled for a couple of days later. The interview itself felt like the manager was trying to recruit me! We had a casual chat for about 30 minutes about the team, my availability, the hours, and the pay. After that, she got me set up in their system. It was a really straightforward and relaxed process. If you're keen on getting a job here, being persistent and following up is super important!
