The questions they asked were good and the interview was prompt and on time. Nothing special happened that made me really want to work there. The store itself had a bad vibe though, like they didn't know what they were doing.

It was a great remote interview. They asked a couple of questions online and there was no in-person interview. Make sure to complete the online interview. They asked about my availability and experience with retail work. It was super fast and very easy.
