Interview
Called in for interview pretty quickly. It’s not hard at all, especially if you’ve worked in retail before. Probably received a call back within 2 days after applying. Went in for interview & was told on the spot that i got the job.
The process was smooth. The location I worked at was good. They were very flexible with my schedule since I was still in college. Communication is good. Overall, good experience.
