I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Greenville, NC) in Jan 2018
Interview
Applied in the beginning of January, was called two weeks later to come in for an interview on a Thursday. I personally thought the interview went pretty well but the manager explained that they only had 2 positions open and had a lot of people interviewing. When leaving, Paul said that I will hear from him through phone or email and that I should check back the next Thursday if I did not hear anything. I called the next Thursday and Paul said he still had more people to interview and that I should hear from him by the following Wednesday. At this point, I interviewed somewhere else and they had offered me the position but I wanted to work at Academy more. So, a week and a half after my last phone call, I called Paul one last time to see why I hadn't heard from him. I called on a Monday and he said he would call me back the next day. I never received a phone call back nor an email saying I didn't get the job. All in all, I thought this was a bad way to treat applicants I felt like I was strung along by Paul and still have not heard anything definitive back from the company.
