Interview
Complete the online assessment test, once completed it’ll take some time for them to get back to you. Constantly check your email, as all communications will be done this way.
Once they’ve contacted you, you’ll be asked to schedule a new hire orientation, were they’ll give you basic information about working there.
Next you’ll be given instructions on how to preform your own drug test, and asked which shift you’d like to work. Shifts are given out on a first come first served basis. So, highly unlikely you’ll get the shift you picked.
Once a shift becomes open they’ll contact you via email. You’ll then be ask to accept or wait for another opening. Once a shift is accepted you’ll be ask to schedule your day 1 training.

Question 1
They don’t ask any questions. The assessment test is your interview.
No interview at all, you go into the hiring center, take your drug test, fill out some preliminary paperwork, verify the building and schedule you want, your start date and that's it.
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
