Applied online, was contacted within a week for an in-person interview. Interview was rather informal, with boiler-plate questions, ie. Why do you want to work here? Do you have retail experience?, etc. An offer was made later that afternoon via telephone.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Big 5 Sporting Goods (Scottsdale, AZ) in Feb 2013

Take a quick math test, small written paragraph on why you want to work at Big 5 and basic interview questions. Can be with the store manager or district supervisor just depends. Come dress up since you will be required to dress everyday at work.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Big 5 Sporting Goods (Shoreline, WA) in Jun 2012
Interview
You talk with the manager for about 10 minutes while walking through the store. They use behavioral interview questions, a math test and a background check. The process was very easy and as long as you have adequate communication and math skills you can get hired.
