I applied and they called me back the same day for an interview. It was pretty standard. They seemed really interested in my past experience and said they'd pay me based on it. The managers were nice and professional.

It took a couple of months for them to get back to me, but once I got there, the people were really nice. They asked some straightforward questions about whether I could manage high customer demands and about my past work experience. The interview wrapped up pretty fast, and they then had me sign a form to agree to a background check. Overall, it was a pretty standard interview process, apart from the long wait to hear back from them.
