I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hallmark
Interview
interview began with a behavioral/personality questionnaire which had to be passed to move on. then 1:1 interview with store manager which was "script" based, then the results were presented to corporate office for final approval. My first clue that the local manager had little control and upper management/corporate was really calling the shots.

Question 1
Are you a competitive person? Questions were not difficult- most questions were from a script.
It was super chill. It was with my hiring supervisor and was very basic interview questions. Then she gave a lot of information about the role and expectations and how crazy Christmas hets
Interview involved getting to know me, what experience do I have related to customer service and how do I deal with different situations. It was easy and pretty straight-forward. Great chat.
Very friendly. Small office within the store. Asked about how I'd handle various guests in the store with different needs or emotional states. Got to meet different employees as they passed through.
