I applied online. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors in Aug 2019
Interview
Very easy. Got the job offer the same day. My future boss asked me questions related to my flexibility and my drive. He also explained that there were a lot of hours to go around which I later learned was true due to the number of people that quit. The job is very stressful, especially during the holidays and I wish this was talked about in the interview
