Interview
I applied online and received a call in about 2 weeks. My interview with the store's general manager was 1 week after that. He was very nice and actually spent more time talking to me about the company than he did asking me questions. My second interview was another week after that and there were more questions for me in that one, but they were nothing difficult. Altogether both interviews were very relaxed and not anything to worry about.

Interviewer (who was the manager at the time) was a nice person, charming in the way he spoke, understanding, a good listener, and good speaker. I didn't get the job, but he was still very charitable when interviewing me.
