I got a call about a month after applying to a job ad they posted, and had a group interview with about ten other people. They never warned us it would be a group process and I think that threw a few people off. We answered each question counter clockwise so the people who happened to sit at one end definitely got the short end of the stick as they had to quickly think up answers that sounded similar to what had already been said. In the end they told us they had over 200 applicants so it would take a week to hear back, and I got an email saying I was no longer in the running a few days later.

Question 1
Tell us about a time you received great customer experience from someone
Group interview with other candidates with the store manager. Arrive at the store and wait for other candidates. Then interview happens in break room and it lasted roughly about 30-60minutes
It was a group interview of about 10-12 people. If I remember correctly they take you to the back, the stock room, and ask almost everyone the same question. The interview lasted about 30 minutes.
It was very easy, one in person interview with the general manager and then I was accepted! Mainly personality and behavioral questions were asked, and I think enthusiasm on my end helped the most.
