I applied online. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret (Columbus, OH) in Oct 2015
Interview
Group interview depending on which position you applied for. General interview for everyone then separates to specialists and generalists. Asked about prior experience. Easy to pass. The sales manager might interview you separately if they aren't the one interviewing you the first time. This is to make sure you are the right sales person.
Was a group interview. Be prepared and dress nicely. Each person took turns answering interview questions around the table. I worked there for 5 years and quit around 2017. Things may have changed since then with their interview process.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret
Interview
The manager was very knowledgeable and friendly. I showed up 10 minutes early and she was already prepared to take me back. She gave me a timeline of the hiring process so I wasn't waiting around for an answer.

Interview
Collaborative group interview. It’s important to make yourself stand out as you’re not interviewing on your own. On boarding (if hired) is also done as a group. I was hired on the spot during a last minute one on one interview but have never seen anyone else get hired that way.
Ensure that you’re confident and ready to sell. Numbers are important ... almost too important.
Great social atmosphere but important to not get too lost in that world.
