It was a chat, not too difficult. They asked about my favorite brands and why I wanted to work there. A few other questions were asked, but not many. It was okay. I liked the process.

Had an initial phone screening that was pretty basic and easy, and then they scheduled an in-person interview pretty soon after. The in-person interview itself was a bit weird, I walked in and asked for the manager who was supposed to interview me. The associate I spoke with asked me what I was applying for, what other companies I came from, and what experience I had, which totally caught me off guard. Then they ghosted me after I followed up for two weeks.

I went through numerous, somewhat unnecessary rounds for this Sales role. I think I had 8 in total, with each interview lasting around 45 minutes to an hour. The whole interview process took about a month. It's important to walk their store before any interviews.

The interview process was pleasant. It consisted of two phases on the same day. I spoke with a few employees before meeting with Sam. Overall, it was a good experience.
