The process was really simple and not at all intimidating. The questions they asked were normal and direct, so I didn't really need to prep much. The interviewer was also very nice. I mainly remember leaving the interview feeling happy and confident that I did a good job.

It was a quick interview, only about 8 minutes. Two women interviewed me. One asked all the questions and did most of the talking, while the other just observed. They asked me some questions and then shared information about the company. I didn't have any questions for them because I was feeling a bit off, but I'd recommend having a few questions ready to ask if they don't bring them up. After the Q&A, I had to sign and review some papers about my criminal history and I needed my Social Security Number, so make sure you have that handy. They also asked me to bring two forms of identification, which they only briefly looked at; I'm guessing they're more important after you're hired.

I applied online and got a call pretty quickly to come in for an interview. The interview process was a bit all over the place because I ended up interviewing at two different locations. The first place had a pretty standard interview, and the second one was more casual, like a chat. The first place said they'd call me back in a few days, but it took them a week. They then asked me to come in for orientation on one of two Saturdays and said they'd call me in a couple days, which they didn't. By the time they called me back about a week and a half later, I had already interviewed at the second place and decided to go with them. The second place, however, never called me back.
