Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I initially found out my local Teavana was hiring in store so I applied online. I was called the next day to set up an interview. I called back and had set up an interview for the following Monday. My first interview was with the manager of the sotre, who I had seen a few times as I frequent Teavana. She brewed me a up of tea, I just wanted an herbal tea but she told me they usually like to use high quality teas in interview and offered to add a white tea to blend with my herbal. I was like okay cool, free cup give me the good stuff! haha. We went out in the mall and sat . She asked me basic interview questions for sales positions. She asked if I was familiar with top-down selling. She explained to me that Teavana is a sales based position, you make commission on top of your wage and whoever does well gets more hours. She was completely upfront about it and I knew it was something I was comfortable with. She then had me sell my cup of tea and I figured they would because they had me learn about the tea I was drinking. I was nervous but she told me its fine, everyone usually is.
We set up my next interview with the assistant manager for the following Monday. Again they made me a cup of tea and had me read about it and look around while it brewed. We then went outside and interviewed. IT was the same kind of questions. She told me with my experience they would probably have me be a key holder. She asked me how I felt when I walked into Teavana, if I had ever been to Teavana before going to their store, stuff like that. I asked her about her experience with Teavana . She said she liked me and I'd be good for the store and they will contact me in a week.
I think I've got the job. Id recommend you apply for this job if you are comfortable with sales.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took a day)
I applied on the companies website. The interview was in-person with the general manager. The interview consisted of really basic general questions without any difficult behavioral questions which I liked. It was probably one of the easiest interviews I can remember. The general manager asked about my previous jobs. It was stressed that the job was very sales intense and had sales goals. I got the impression they were looking for some sales background. At the end the general manager walked me through their sales process and asked me to repeat what they just showed me.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Oak Brook, IL (took a day)
The interviewer and I went for a walk around the mall where we chatted about my accomplishments. He threw in a few behavioral questions but seemed more nervous than I was. Over all, he seemed very disinterested with all that I had to say, but of course he was not supposed to be interviewing me. The manager was too busy so she sent him out. At the end of the interview, he asked me to pretend to try to sell him something that I had on me.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Knoxville, TN (took a day)
It was interesting in that we walked around the mall instead of sitting down. The two managers asked normal questions (strong skills, activities, past employment...). They asked about sales experience and examples of my experience. For this job you have to sell a certain amount per hour to get the 2% bonus at the end of the month.
Reason for Declining
College classes are more important.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Knoxville, TN (took a day)
Interview was pretty straight forward. Every interview is pretty unique- one of the ladies and I had a lot in common, so we talked about eating healthy, running, etc. Asked about questions- they love goal oriented people. Just be very personable. Offered me a sales job over barista.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
So I saw that Teavana at the Florida Mall was hiring so I filled out the online application. After filling out the application I went to the store and talked to the manager who asked me to come back in twenty minutes for an interview. When I came back the manager and I went out to a quite place where the interview was held. Her and the other employees I had seen in the store were laid back and friendly and the interview was not difficult.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 days)
It was very easy to get this job. They are looking for people who they consider to be good salesmen. Teavana is a sales job. Do not be fooled. You get to drink all the free tea you want but Christmas time will pile on some unnecessary stress.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 1 week)
It was a very basic and typical q&a session.
1. (going through resume...) oh, what did you like about this job?
2. What didn't you like about this job?
3. If a new customer was coming into the store, how would you greet/sell him our products?
4. What is 'Customer Service' to you?
5. Have you ever had to multi-task to more than one customer? How did you deal with it?
5. Would you be ok as part time?
