Application
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Pep Boys (Columbus, OH)
Interview
For a sales position the process is just an group interview with the store, retail, and parts manager. They ask questions about your knowledge of parts and some questions about your past employment. For the Management positions you will interview with the store manager and the area director. The questions are then on an higher scale of knowledge and skills about management.
