The interview was super easy, they didn't really ask much. Basically, they just needed to hire people! It felt like they wanted anyone who would actually show up and could do the bare minimum for the job. It was seriously the easiest interview ever. I got hired right away, on the spot.

I applied online and then their HR department reached out to set up a phone interview. After we did that, we set up an in-person interview for the next day. This in-person interview was part of a big day of open interviews. It was pretty packed, with lots of other interviews happening at the same time around me.

I applied online and they called me back pretty quickly and offered me a phone interview. During the phone interview, they asked me some basic questions about customer service and told me a bit about the company. After that, they offered me a one on one interview which was basically a longer version of the phone interview. It was a pretty easy process and the people I talked to were nice.
