I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cracker Barrel (Pembroke Pines, FL) in Mar 2015
Interview
I had applied in-store; now everything is online. C.S mom gave J.V a very high reccomendation being that she had 4 Stars, which isnt necessarily a ranking but how well you know the brand and its products which Cracker Barrel has you take a test and gives you a certain percentage of sale. Anyways I walked in and had an interview with L. and she was amazing I was very nervous being that this was my first job I sat down and then when it came to be my turn I walked up introduced myself there was two people before me and people coming in after me. One thing I can remember really clearly is the time when L. said "Don't worry Hun, take a deep breath your doing well" that completly made all my anxiety and stress go out the door and I was able to completely open up with L. - the 2nd in charge Retail Staff she was a manager in training. and S. the Retail Manager who was the 2nd in charge of the entire CrackerBarrel after the General Manager. My Interview Process was short. I applied. Came in, introduced myself to the Manager, I was called back after a week, the background check no drug test well as far as when i worked there (about 1 year ago). I was interviewed. and a couple of days later I recieved a call to come in for my 1st day, which was a training day where I got paid to take all the tests which took 4 days straight of being on the computer and learning the technology and the protocols, how to interact with guests and the whole schabang, I would come in after my morning college classes and sit there from 12 to 6 bring a SWEATER, as well as food. You will get hungry and your positive country fresh attitude haha.

It was a very easy, simple process. None of the questions were too out of the ordinary and the interviewer was very kind and comfortable to talk to. I received an email about 30 minutes after my interview stating I'd gotten the job and linking to the forms I needed to fill out.
