Interviewed Sep 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took 3 days)
In August of 2011, my girlfriend's sister bought a Jimmy John's sandwich and said that they had just opened a few weeks ago. I remembered passing by it a few times, so I went by again and noticed a sign up front "Looking for Rock Stars." I went inside to ask for an application and one of the cashiers gave me one. Later, the same day, I returned the application thinking that it would just be another guy to pretend to read it and never call, but to my surprise, the manager ask me to sit down at the eating area to have an interview. We talked about availability and work experience. Before I left, he asked me to come in the next morning, so I did. He gave me a list of all the sandwiches and how to make them. (Yes, even as a Driver, you will pretty much do everything an In-Shop/Food Prep employee will do until a delivery comes up. It's cool if you want to stay busy.) After I memorized the paper, I came in the next day and they talked to me a little about the store, then hired me right there. They asked me to start working right then and there, I found it funny because I think they really needed drivers. The pay was about $5.25 (Under Min. Wage) but you get a crazy load of tips. It's funny how it works: You will always make at least Min. wage working there because they count your tips along with your paycheck, BUT if you don't make enough/or any tips to cover Min. wage, THEN, they add the full Min. wage. I've never heard of that before, but I guess if it works.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I interviewed for a cashier job, after seeing the Now Hiring sign on the door. I came in and I was out the door in 15 minutes. The interview was very casual. Then I got a phone call a few weeks later asking me to come in and take the sandwich test. I passed, then I was told that I would be brought on the schedule in a few weeks. I called to follow up to see when I'd be put on, then I was told the opposite. Could not be hired because of "too much staff". It appeared the management was very wishy washy - I had to do all the reaching out to figure out what my status was. I'm glad I didn't get the job. Doesn't look like a great place to work.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 days)
In general, the interview was pretty easy. Most of the questions asked were general "get-to-know-you" questions. The more difficult part of the interview was the sandwich test, in which you are given a couple of days to learn how to make the different sandwiches. You have to know all of the ingredients, the order, the names, and the numbers. It is easy enough if you sit down for a while and study, but it does get rather tedious; some of the sandwiches have a lot.
Overall, the interview process was pretty laid back. I was told I got the job right after my sandwich test was graded, and I got started that same week!

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
I submitted a resume through craigslist and was called several days later. I stopped by the store at their request and filled out an application -- there were no seats at this JJs so I had to lean against a fridge to write. The manager took my application and said he'd call.

It was a 1-on-1 interview with me and the manager. They reintroduced themselves and asked me to have a seat. Asked about my work history and why I was interested in the job. Asked when I was available. When the interview was done they said they would call me.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Champaign, IL (took 2+ weeks)
The interview processes are comfortable and easy; however, the position itself is less than desirable. 60+ hour weeks with one day off - no vacation for a year, and only$38,000. Plus, the hours fluctuate and often there are times when you need to work til 4 am.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
We sat down in the eating area to talk, which made it a really comfortable interview for me. Doing an interview is my anxiety's best friend, so this helped a lot. We talked a little about my previous experience driving, why I left my last job. He went over the different shifts that they run, told me a little about how they do things, the pay (hourly rate, tips, 5% of your sales), duties, stuff like that. Basically, as long as you can present yourself well and smile, you should be fine.
