Very easy and quick. Mine took two weeks to hear back. They are huge on experience and will want to hear about your work stories. Great process overall because they let you know quickly.
I applied online. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (Morton Grove, IL) in Jun 2014
Interview
Fairly quick. I meet with both the manager and the department manager. Asked my favorite product. Once I interviewed I heard back within a few days. Great company to work for and learn the business. The interviewer was new in the position so it was more conversational. Which helped.
