I first had an in-person interview with the area manager for that specific Steve Madden location. It lasted about 20-30 minutes. They mentioned they were actually hiring for a Sales Supervisor role, which was a step above the ASM position I applied for, but that was okay with me. About 3-4 days later, I had a second interview with the store manager. I got the job offer within two hours after that second interview.

Behavioral Other
It wasn't formal and seemed unplanned and unprofessional. They canceled the interview to reschedule at least 2 times. They explained how they normally recruit new candidates by searching for "cute" girls in the mall. It was weird and unprofessional - the employees talked about the owner and knew way too much about his personal life and relationships with employees.
