I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at REI (Oxnard, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Interactive group interview. We were put in groups and asked various questions about our values in the workspace and given real life scenarios to address. Also given the chance to introduce ourselves and say why working at REI would be beneficial to ourselves. The management staff walked around during the process. Fun but also slightly awkward set up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you appreciate in sales people when you go shopping at other stores?
Group interviews were friendly and well managed. Staff were kind and understanding. Good and thoughtful interview process. I appreciate the relaxed atmosphere at the store and when speaking with the interviewers.
The interview process was simple and over the phone. Then I went in person. She was very nice, but the store manager was a bit off. Ultimately, it just wasn't a good fit.
Submitted resume online then they wanted me to do a really stupid video interview where I answer questions from a prompt and video record myself giving answers. Just schedule a normal interview you idiots.
