I applied online and the assistant manager got in touch. Since they needed people, they invited me for an interview the next day. I met with the assistant manager, we talked about the pay, and they said they'd get back to me later in the week. But I got a call about an hour later saying I got the job and the pay I wanted.

I applied for the job just before summer. I kept calling to check on my application status. It took about a month and a half, or maybe two months, before they called me back for an interview. I went during a hiring event, and there were about ten of us, so it took a good amount of time. But the interview itself was pretty straightforward.
