I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JCPenney (Kennesaw, GA) in May 2018
Interview
The interview was a group interview with like 5 other people. Very calm and casual setting. They asked pretty simple questions. The interview was not hard at all even though group interviews can be intimidating

Question 1
Name a time you had to deal with an angry customer and how did you solve the problem
Super easy and quick process I interviewed with four people back in the days. This was my first job it was absolutely fun and it taught me how to become more social and responsible.
was good, quick and to the point, was an interview for a different position but they had filled it so just did the regular cashier position and worked that out which was nice
easy they ask you simple multiple choice answers that are pretty easy to guess which one is correct. They were easy to talk to too. at least at my location. It was a hiring event which prob explains it
