It was pretty simple, and they are pretty relaxed. Prior experience isn't necessary for a stock or sales associate position. They just want to get to know you better and see if you have a can-do attitude.

It was a typical process. I talked to HR first, and then I had some panel rounds. I met with the hiring manager, another manager, and the team lead. Everyone was responsive and professional. They weren't super clear about their work model, like whether it's on-site or hybrid.
