I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Scheels (Appleton, WI) in Sep 2013
Interview
They asked me about my short and long term goals, they were very interested in my extracurriculars, there is a decently sized test where you have to answer a bunch of math questions, describe words like leadership, character, work ethic, etc. You also have tow write a fake letter from one company to another, and then there is a drug test but its oral so you can smoke weed like 12 hours before, drink water, and you'll be fine.
Typically they do two-three interviews, and seem to focus on if you are a cultural fit more than direct applicable knowledge. The interviewers were all friendly, and they respond quickly.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Scheels (Kansas City, MO) in Feb 2026
Interview
1 phone interview, 4 in person interviews, and it took over 3 months for them to finalize paperwork. I was offered a position, but immediately felt outcasted for asking for basic accommodations due to my health, only for them to tell them that I wasn’t able to get these accommodations. I was told also that my makeup could be considered possibly out of dress code (winged liner and mascara???). Maybe just this location, but I felt so uncomfortable that I didn’t accept the job.
