The interview setting was really casual, but the interviewer was kind of condescending and called my answers "perplexing." I followed up a few days later by call and email, but then didn't hear back from HR or the interviewer.

It was a casual interview with some basic questions about my background and experience. Since I have experience with home furnishings, most questions centered around my previous employers. The interviewer was kind and made me feel comfortable. Questions were direct and to the point. No trickery here.

Apply online first, then you’ll have an interview within a few days by their hiring coordinator. My experience was this: I then had a video interview with Megan Smithe and Eric Clark via zoom. Then I had an interview with a store manager in person a few days later. I was hired the next day.
