So the interview was pretty in-depth and involved a math test. The math test was kind of hard if you've been out of school for a while, but it's definitely manageable. I think there was a background check and possibly a drug test too. The interview itself was a packet of questions and answers, maybe around 30 of them. It made me a bit nervous, but it wasn't too bad overall.

First, you gotta do a math test and an in-person interview, no matter what job you're going for. When you get there, they give you a math test, a pencil, and a calculator to make sure you can figure out sale prices. The rest of the questions were pretty standard stuff, like asking if you're okay with cleaning tasks at the end of the day, your qualifications for the role, and why you left your last job.

Confirmed questions2 questions

The interview was usually with the store manager. It felt both formal and informal. I only had one interview and got hired on the spot. Some candidates had specific interests and told the manager where they wanted to be placed.
