I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Vans
Interview
I went through 3 interviews during the process. One with another store manager, another with the district manager, and another with the regional manager. After going through all 3 interviews (which were in multiple places), I had to wait for them to run a background check on me. The entire process took almost a month to complete.

Question 1
Everything was pretty straight forward interview questions. Nothing unexpected or "weird". They asked a lot of questions about how I relate to the brand and why I liked Vans in particular. There were quite a few situational questions like "tell me about a time when you did this" or "walk me through your process for this".
Lots of situational questions - both hypothetical and actual - to gauge how well you do in specific situations. Not intimidating. I had an interview with my area manager and then a short convo with regional manager.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vans (Norfolk, VA)
Interview
Recruiter or the District manager. Possible peer store manager. Likely another district manager and then the regional manager. Took less than 2 weeks. Not a complicated process. Pretty standard for a store manager.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Vans (Madrid) in Mar 2025
