I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2016
Interview
It was Brief. Mainly about availability and work experience. If you know a person who works there, even better. Easy hire during holiday season. Once they offer you a position, you must go through a background check and then come in for an on boarding process. In total it takes about 2/3 weeks if you're adamant about the job, more if the managers aren't on the process.
The interview process at Ross Dress for Less consisted of meeting with a store manager to discuss my customer service experience, cash handling skills, and ability to work in a fast-paced retail environment. I was asked situational questions about handling customers, teamwork, and resolving problems. The process was straightforward and focused on my availability, work ethic, and ability to support store operations
Fast and easy! They mainly asked about my previous work experiences and my availability. They also asked what great customer service is like to you and why I would be a good fit to the company.
I was interviewed over the phone and than asked to come in person. So I could meet the team and talk to them. It wasn't too hard but it was kind of a waste as I didn't get a call back.
