I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at JCPenney (Springfield, MO) in Sep 2017
Interview
In the interview you are in a room with about eight or nine other people being interviewed. They basically make all of you do team building activities. They don't ask you about yourself or why you want the job. They don't really get to know you.
It was fairly straightforward and easy. The woman I interviewed with was nice and not very intimidating. They took about a week to get back with me about an interview after I applied for the position.
I applied online. I interviewed at JCPenney (Alpharetta, GA) in Sep 2024
Interview
I was contacted by email about my application. Contacted HR Supervisor and scheduled an interview date and time. Met with HR the next day for an in person interview. Very informative conversation with HR Supervisor.
Very efficient and the interviewer was very nice and gave me a lot of time to answer questions. The questions were not hard and they were very manageable. It was more so a discussion rather than an interview.
