I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors in Jan 2016
Interview
Interview consisted of some basic questions. But mostly questions that kind of made you think quickly on your feet. My interviewer was one of the store managers. He was very funny and laid back. The entire hiring process took about 2 weeks (because the background check took this long).

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Denton, TX) in Aug 2021
Interview
Went smoothly with the interview. they didn’t ask to many questions and asked about availability. the managers and working associates were kind and it’s a double interview, but not group interview
Many questions involved regarding your personal life and questions within the workplace. Was interviewed by one person. Interviews are all about conversation and not being a robot when talking to the interviewer.
