I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JCPenney
Interview
Group interview. Very comfortable and laid back environment. There were about 4 other individuals in the group interview. The interviewer would ask a question and we took turns answering. However it was not formal. Whoever spoke up got to answer and the interviewer would move on to the next question even if everyone did not get to answer. So you really had to try and stand out.
