The interview process was simple and over the phone. Then I went in person. She was very nice, but the store manager was a bit off. Ultimately, it just wasn't a good fit.
Submitted resume online then they wanted me to do a really stupid video interview where I answer questions from a prompt and video record myself giving answers. Just schedule a normal interview you idiots.
Just three questions, and then normal preference questions at the end. They asked about prior experience in sales. They also wanted to know about how I have been affected by an employee in the position I was applying for.
