      Submitted my application in the summertime and got called for a group interview about a month later. Went in for a group review which we discussed some topics with the assistant managers. Then went on a 1 on 1 interview with the manager of the store. Got hired maybe 2 weeks after that.

      None honestly. They will hire anyone as long as they don't seem or act shady.
