I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Killeen, TX) in Aug 2015
Interview
Easy face to face interview with Apparel manager and team lead. They take you into their back room and ask you basic questions about what you do personally and then they move on to question about working at Academy. After you are done; you wait for a few minutes outside the room while they make their final decision. Honestly, just being yourself and having prior experience in any customer service is probably the key.
