I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Container Store (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2016
Interview
Owing to the fact that it was for the post-Thanksgiving rush, the interview process was pretty streamlined. I submitted my application online and had to wait about a week to hear back.
First, I had a phone screening with one of the store managers. At the end of the conversation, she asked me to come in and watch a round of merchandise processing.
I shadowed for about an hour at 6am, after which the sales floor leader asked me about what I observed, as well as some questions about work availability.
A few days later, I was offered the job over the phone.
