I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Books-A-Million (Lancaster, PA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Was asked normal questions but really talked about the district manager and how old she is and how long she’s been with the company. They told me about what I would be doing and what was expected. But that was not true. I was treated like I was stupid as they had no clue they have no idea what they are saying. Waste of my time
