I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney (Plano, TX) in Jul 2015
Interview
Was interviewed after an on campus career fair at my university. Initial meeting was more of a meet and greet to feel each other out. I went over my resume in detail and learned more about the position and company. Following that interview I was called back for an on site interview at the headquarters location in Plano,Tx. I was flown out and put in a hotel. 1st day consisted of of a tour of the facilities, a computer test over basic math skill with a personality test to finish. The second day we had our individual interviews and a case study. Both were challenging.

It took a really long time for them to get back to me after applying, months, I believe. However, from there on, they were good at communicating with me. They flew me to Dallas and booked me a hotel for the interview. Had a panel interview and gave a case study presentation to a group of employees.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney in Sep 2019
Interview
The interview process was very smooth! The panel interview was very conversational rather than strict question/answer. Everybody seemed very knowledgeable as to what is expected from this candidate and didn't drift directions asking other things that weren't really connected to the role.
