I applied online. I interviewed at POP MART (Melbourne) in Feb 2025
Interview
Applied online but also handed in my CV in person for the store which I applied for (located in Melbourne). First had a zoom interview with the HR manager which lasted around 15 minutes, then within a week or so another in person interview with the store managers for around 20-30 minutes. I was offered a role the following week. The questions asked were typical retail/hospo job questions. Overall the process wasn’t stressful at all, the managers were easygoing and we had good conversations.

I applied online. I interviewed at POP MART (Sydney) in Jan 2026
Interview
Applied online and was invited to an interview with hirer who asked basic interview questions about my experience. I was then invited to another interview with HR whom I discussed with more about admin related topics.
Lovely manager and staff but the business model, hours and environment is clearly toxic and a recipe for burnout. Unmanageable footfall in store and lack of facilities. The company is cutting costs where they should be investing and taking care of their staff.

Question 1
Physical ability to perform deliveries, any booked holiday and time off.
It took me 1 month to hear back from the store manager to get an interview. We set up a phone interview, and then I got the offer, but waiting on the email for onboarding takes another 5 days.
