The interview experience was really great with great people and a great team. The questions asked were good. It consisted of 3 stages, with the first one being on Zoom. The turnaround time for callbacks and next steps was fairly quick. I did enjoy meeting everyone and felt very welcomed.

It seemed like looks were valued more than work ethic, essentially judging who would be a good 'fit' to make the place appear appealing to customers. There was no room for creativity; we were given a brief to select an outfit for a gig. However, we were then told there was no need to be creative and to just point to the mannequin. Around 30 people were interviewed together for a few available positions. We also practiced using the tills.
