I applied in-person. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2012
Interview
I called them if they remembered me fro my application and interview several months ago and the (now former) hiring manager said she did but needed me to connect with the new sales manager. I met with her fo a few minutes and they hired me immediately.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel (New York, NY) in Aug 2012
Interview
Got an email to schedule a phone interview, this went well, and at the end of this call we scheduled my first in-person interview. At the in-person interview basic questions were asked, and at the end of this interview a second in-person interview was scheduled. Everyone came across as really nice, and positive about the company.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Crate and Barrel in May 2012
Interview
Standard fair for a retail position. I have come to learn as I have worked here, though, that several points that lead me to accept the position were either incorrectly stated or no longer true. I do realize I was hired during a transition phase at this particular location, but that's no excuse to not ensure that the information you are providing new hires is as complete as it can be.

What was the most difficult customer service situation I've ever had to handle, by myself?
