Interview
The interview process is pretty intense - you submit an application, receive a phone interview, have a face-to-face interview, take an exam on product knowledge and skill set, and have a final interview to complete the process.

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.
