I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Teavana (Burnsville, MN)
Interview
It was an easy interview. I spent apprximately fifteen minutes waiting around the store for the manager to finish up what she was working on and get my application. However, I was offered a drink while I was waiting, so that was nice. We spent a lot of time talking about my education, and we discussed ideal work-places, what my goals where, who I liked to work with, etc. It finally ended with her checking my sales ability by asking me to sell her a pen.

Interview
The manager was on time and kind. He asked common interview questions and a few advanced because he was trying to see if I would be a good fit for a manager position given my experience. I asked how I did after and he gave a very honest answer which I always really appreciate

What would you do if a sales associate wasn't meeting their sales goals?
Very quick interview, not very in depth when it came to my prior experiences. Polite and direct, very clear in laying out the expectations and the requirements of the job.

Interview
The interview process wasn't long or tedious. It took only one interview because the Assistant Manager was out of town assisting another storm. The longest part was waiting for the background check
