The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (New Roads, LA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Interview only took about 20-25 Minutes, they asked you basic behavior questions and "Tell me a time when you..." Type of questions. They asked about my salary desire and my availability, 2 people interviewed me & I was hired on the spot, I originally applied for the Footwear Sales Associate position but they said they wanted to start me off as a cashier and I can move up into a department which was fine with me! I was open with my salary desire, I told them 7.25 and they offered 8.50! I was like "WOW, okay yes(:! Can't wait to start!
