I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Katy, TX) in Dec 2023
Interview
Wonderful environment! they were so welcoming and kind. I didn't end up working here, but one of the best interview processes I've ever had. Interviewed with 3 people in the final round
The interview was around 45 minutes, and the interviewer was relatively nice and ask about basic questions. They do care whether you have a retail background or not when being interviewed.
Interview with several Buyers, DMM's, and VP's over a few hours. The interviews aren't very structured and seem to be pulled out of thin air. Overall, it was a good experience.
