Interviewed Oct 2011 in Winston Salem, NC (took a day)
I applied online and with in a week or two was called in for an interview. The women was from corporate and very nice but not some one I have ever seen again. Most of the questions are standard for today's interviews however many of the answers I had prepared for were not necessary. Definitely focus on your sales background for this job. It was very simple and mainly consisted of her giving me information about the company. I would say it lasted about 20 to 30 minuets. I got a call a week after that saying I was hired and when to come in. Training was to fast in my opinion but we got plenty of study materials for home use.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 1 week)
Most of the interview questions that I was asked were related to tea. The interviewer wanted to know that I had prior knowledge of tea and that I was passionate about tea. Besides that, the questions were very typical interview questions, i.e. teamwork skills, strengths, etc.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Bethesda, MD (took a day)
Applied online and in a few months, I was given a call by the General Manager, requesting an interview. The interview was done at the food court and went impossibly smoothly. She just wanted me to expand on some points on my resume, asked about my availability and previous skills, and explained the job to me. I asked questions and got a good feel for the company and the store with a quick walk through and meet-and-greet of some of the other employees. Super friendly and helpful.
Negotiation Details
I didn't negotiate because everyone has a fixed salary, and hours are assigned based on your sales numbers. Any bonus you get is based on your own sales, so any "negotiation" later in your employment is done through your actions and numbers.

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 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 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.
