I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Vitamin Shoppe (Augusta, GA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Was hired as a Health Enthusiast due to my being a long time customer and healthcare worker who is into alternative medicine and Manager of store asked me to work part time due to my base knowledge of Health. Interview went smooth, pretty frendly but clueless distric manager and store manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No question was difficult as I use suppliments and read modern articles daily. However, they seemed reluctant to mention pay. When they told me I would make $7.95/hour...
I needed Valerian root extract STAT. I could not believe such an insulting offer even though I was truly not there for the money. However, $7.95/hour is extremely parsimonious
by any standard.
Multiple rounds, friendly interviewers. I had a phone interview first, then an in-person with the store manager. The last round was another phone interview, this time with the district manager
The interview was super relaxed but very professional. They didn't expect me to "know everything," instead they emphasized a willingness to learn and work as a team. It was very reassuring and I got a great vibe from both the manager and assistant manager.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Vitamin Shoppe (Las Vegas, NV) in Mar 2021
Interview
Application was online and simple. We set up an interview with the SM and then set up a second interview with the DM. Sometimes they will combine these into one interview.
