Submitted an online application and got called in for my first interview about a month later. I was made a cup of tea and the other interviewee and I sat down with the manager and took turns answering questions about sales experience, sales philosophy, our personal goals, and tea. I got called in for another (solo) interview a week later, same procedure as before. I hadn't had much sales experience at that point and that was her main concern.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic, standard questions generally speaking. The sales questions tripped me up a little (I think in hindsight she was looking for an aggressive boutique salesperson not a friendly tea expert).
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Teavana (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
The manager was on time and kind. He asked common interview questions and a few advanced because he was trying to see if I would be a good fit for a manager position given my experience. I asked how I did after and he gave a very honest answer which I always really appreciate

Question 1
What would you do if a sales associate wasn't meeting their sales goals?
Very quick interview, not very in depth when it came to my prior experiences. Polite and direct, very clear in laying out the expectations and the requirements of the job.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Teavana (Wellington, FL)
Interview
The interview process wasn't long or tedious. It took only one interview because the Assistant Manager was out of town assisting another storm. The longest part was waiting for the background check
