I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Spring, TX) in Dec 2016
Interview
I met with two separate managers just to discuss the positions that were open. They then just let me choose which position I was more interested in, as far as times of availability goes. I met with the managers (one by one) and they just read my profile and asked me random questions from my resume. Not stressful at all.
