Interview
Interview was a group interview. There was 8 of us and the first thing we had to do was introduce ourselves and say your favorite movie. Then we got into 2 groups and we had to build something out of these connecting things, they weren't legos, they were k'nex I think it was called. They gave us 10 min. and we had to sell it to them, basically what it does, if it uses batteries and why it would be a great toy. After that we got a chance to pick a toy from the actual store, anything!, so I would advice you to go in advance and study a toy before the interview. Again you have to sell it to someone like what it is, what it does, its benefits, why it would be a great toy. A plus would also be to study there rewards program and incorporate that when you sell them a toy. So after that the hiring manager said she would call us in one by one but all she asked was what did I think of their interviewing process and if I had any questions. She said they had a lot of applicants and were looking for the best so if I didn't receive a call by 5pm that day that meant they had moved on with other applicants.

Interview
Applied online. Was called in for a group interview. I was among about 10 other interviewees. We all sat in the office together with the Store Manager and Human Resource Supervisor. They asked us each a few questions in front of everyone. Then we were split in to two teams and presented with a couple of buckets of Legos on the table. We were told that each team had to come up with an idea for a toy, and design it out of Legos. It had to be a toy that you could also think of "add-on" toys for. Someone from the team then had to pitch and "sell" the toy line to the room. After the group interview we were each pulled in to speak 2 on 1, and told if we were being extended the job offer or not.

Interview
Applied on a Sunday got a call on Monday to set up an interview on Tuesday. Group interview with 4 others. It was a really comfortable setting we all introduced ourselves and said our favorite toy as a kid. We then were asked to build something and tell them what we built and why. Next we were asked to go get any toy we wanted from the floor and sell it to them. I recommend practicing this because I did so I went first. After we finished we returned the toys to where we grabbed them and were then told they would call us in separately for an interview and after we were free to leave. While they were talking with one person they rest of us were getting to know each other. I would say it was actually a pretty fun group interview. They told me they would tell me by 5pm the next day if I got the job. They ended up calling me and hour after to offer me the job and submitted a background check. Once it cleared orientation was set up the following day.
