Interview
First they phone screen you, basically ask you questions about previous experience (if you have any), and they try to get a feel for your personality. If you pass the phone screening, they tell you right away by setting you up for an in-person interview. I was told it would be an interview with the 3 main managers but it ended up being 2 different department managers from the store. One asks questions and the other takes notes while you talk. If the interview goes well they ask you to submit to a background check. If that goes well they set you up for a second interview with the store manager. If that goes well they offer you the job and start your training.
