It was pretty quick and straightforward. I didn't have any experience but they gave me a chance to learn on the job. I really think companies should be open to that for people who are ready to work hard.

After getting a referral from an existing employee, I went to the store manager's office and got a paper application. I filled it out and returned it. Then I spoke with the manager, who asked me some general questions. He said he'd let me know, and I called the next day to find out he had a training schedule for me the following week.
