I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Columbia Bank (Portland, OR) in Jun 2014
Interview
I was contacted fairly quick and set up an interview the following day. I arrived about fifteen minutes early and waited until he was ready. I was interviewed by three different people. They had a few sheets of paper stapled together on the table with interview questions to ask, which seemed unorganized and unprofessional. I was asked the same questions multiple times by the different interviewers, which was very repetitive. It seemed rushed and I had a feeling in the end that I didn't get the job. The manager said he would let me know either way the following week, and I was never notified. It would have been nice to know instead of waiting for a call that never happened.

Question 1
Most questions were pretty basic, seeing as they printed them beforehand, probably from an online source. Best/worst customer service experience, mistake you made and how you learned from it, name a time you went above and beyond what was expected, etc.

Interview
Easy and straight forward interview process. People were very friendly and it was not hard to get a job. They asked me to sell them a pen, so get ready for one of those "cool" sales questions. Overall, just be honest and smile.

Interview
Applied online very easily. I called the next day to check in with the manager on the status of the position and my application. Manager called me back a few days later and we discussed the position and he offered me a interview for their full time universal associate position. When I went in they were very friendly and was interviewed by the store manager and the team lead. Then I met a few other current employees at the store and they asked me a few questions as well. Over all great interview everyone was so friendly.

Interview
A total of 4 interviews. You meet with 4 managers, and in one interview you get to interview someone in the position you're applying for. The question vary from easy light hearted, to ones that make you think. The process of interviewing was long but worth the work and wait.
