Interview process was very easy. Applied online and within a couple days i got called for an interview with a multi store manager. He asked simple interview questions and questions on how i would manage a team. We did a role play and that interview was over. He called me the same day saying that the store manager from the store i applied needs to interview me so i went to that interview 3 days later. He asked the same type of questions like in the previous interview. Did not make me role play again and then told me i got the job he just wanted to confirm with the District Manager that it was okay.
