The interview process was pretty straightforward. They ask a bunch of scenario questions as well as have you perform a sales demonstration if you are interviewing for a stylist position.

Question 1
Q: What would you do if your bride seemed to be overwhelmed by the people they brought with them?

Interview
It was overall a very enjoyable experience. The interviewer was a nice lady. She was the overall branch manager. Asked common interview questions like tell me about yourself, and why are you interested in this position and why should they hire you...

Question 1
If a customer feels like she cannot make up her decision, what would you do?
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at David's Bridal (New York, NY) in Dec 2015
Interview
Typical sales interview. There were no brain teaser questions. (not by my account) The only negatives were the fact I was scheduled to meet the manager but was instead interviewed by the assistant manager. The description of the job was minimal.
And the pay schedule was the reason I declined,the pay scale is in my opinion a scam. But would be great for an aggressive person or for someone looking for a 'time filler' job.
I was offered $11 hourly and then given a commission schedule to read over on my own time. ( not at all explained by the manager ) Not sure if they don't want to have to answer the subsequent questions or assume that people don't read the paperwork given them.
The commission schedule showed a cut in the initial $11 hourly offer by $3.50 and an incremental commission stating at .5% and maxing at 4%, based on per hour sales productivity average.
(i.e. when you work and don't hit their hourly lowest commission you'll earn $11 /hr, say for 20 hr = $220 but if you hit the productivity rate converting you to commission then a single sale for $2900 will push you to a $7.50/hr rate + .5% com on that sale earning you $164.50 and losing you $55.50 - you have to hit 2% before you even start to break even on your hourly wage! )
