Interview
I was called in a couple days after applying, came in to talk with the manager about availability, and was immediately hired. It was a very casual and easy going interview process. Probably the easiest one I've ever experienced.

Interview
You must apply for an interview on their website. Interviews are group interviews. Multiple general managers will be at a location. One of the GMS will interview you and see if you are a possible fit for their store. If they like you they will offer you a job at their store. If you are not able to work at their store, they will pass your information along to other stores hiring.
I had two interviews, both of which were positive. I was recommended by a different manager so I kind of knew I would get hired no matter what. Both interviews asked what I would do in particular scenarios, how I reacted to stress, and if I could handle pressure...etc.
