Interview
I applied online through their website and got an email less than 24hrs later stating that I am being invited for an interview. Luckily, a slot was open for the following day, so I snagged the opportunity. I was scheduled for a 4:15PM interview but I was at the office at 3:45PM.
One of the hiring managers, Maria, was designated to interview me. She just asked me a couple of scenarios and that's it. I was offered a job on the spot and my salary was discussed as well as the key dates for work. She also scheduled me for the two day training afterwards. Then I was done. The whole process took about 40 mins total.
I did a walk-in job interview during the hiring job fair. I applied for the job on their computer kiosk. Then they put me in for an interview on the same day.

Interview
Answer first question starting with One recorded video and then followed up with multiple recorded responses to additional questions. Pretty simple and straightforward. Dress up on the top and wear whatever on the bottom.
Was an easy phone interview that only took a couple of minutes. I was only asked maybe 3 questions at most. Questions were sales experience, job history, and what I can work
