The interview process felt pretty straightforward. It involved a few rounds. The HR person I interacted with was really pleasant. However, the team did give a lot of warnings about how challenging the job might be, which is understandable in fashion. There were some challenges during the salary negotiation phase, but the overall hiring timeline was flexible. The final salary offer was lower than what other companies typically provide.

I was approached while shopping at Loft. The interview took about 40 minutes with the manager and assistant manager. It was a good, informative chat where they asked me what I was looking for in a job, my thoughts on Loft, and what I could bring to the store and customer experience. They also gave me feedback on why they thought I would be a good fit.
