Interview
I applied online which took about 40 minutes. Then, I waited for a week and a half to get a call to set up a phone interview for the next day at 2pm. So 2 oclock came and I waited about 20 minutes for the phone interview, interviewer gave some excuse for calling me late. The interviewer seemed really sketched out that i left my last job witjhout having another lined up and felt the need to scrutinize every detail about it. The interviewer asked about 10 "behavioral interview questions" I played along with this game for about 25 minutes and at the end he told me the pay was $10.75 an hour and that they try to keep buyer's assistants at 36-40 hours. Coming from a job that payed 11.75 an hour, I had to resist the urge to tell the guy to pound sand for wasting my time asking all sorts of stupid hypothetical questions. Dont waste your time applying here. Even if I had gotten a face to face interview I feel I would have to jump through even more hoops.

Interview
Longest and most unprofessional interview I've ever gone through.
Arrived 10 minutes early.
Waited for 30 minutes for HR to come out and start.
Took a questionnaire, "have I killed anyone," etc.
Verified my resume information.
Waited 30 minutes for Buyer's manager to come interview me.
He asked poor situational questions. "What would you do if...?" Common sense answers.
Waited for another 30 minutes for the department manager to come out.
He asked random questions about my past work experience. "What did you do at...?"
I asked some questions.
Interview complete.
I spent over 2 1/2 hours for this interview and the vast majority of the time was spent waiting. I've had plenty of interview and I have never been jerked around this much. I got an offer the next week but declined for two reasons. I could never work at a company that did that to their employees and the pay was horrid for the work.
Interviewed by four buyers, process overall took about 1 hour. Took about a week to get a call,interview, and offer. The interview process was done by most of the people who would be on my team.

Interview
one on the phone interview, two interviews in person, second one the manager offered me the position. The interviews were fairly easy, a lot of waiting around because of how the departments operate and how their interview process works. They have you interview with several people from both the department you want to work in and the other departments in the store
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of "tell me a time when..." questions, if you look up basic ones and practice you should be fine
