I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomingdale's (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2012
Interview
They use the group process. There was a panel of 3 to 4 . The 3 women were on point and did a great job. The guy however was very rude. He did of lot of non verbal things to indicate how boring this process was for him. For example rolling eyes , daydreaming, and sitting with legs crossed but constantly rolling the foot like come on already. Granted he was a department manager and not an HR person still very unprofessional.

I applied to the job online and then had to record myslef answering several questions. Someone from HR followed up with me and i came in for a mass hiring meeting.
Easy. Can go in with no experience. They’ll hire anyone. Nice people to work with. Management is easy depending on who you get. Some are mean and pushy. But you’ll deal
I had one one zoom interview with the manager that I would be working under. It was very casual and easygoing. Mostly behavioral questions were asked during the interview, and it was not too hard overall.
