I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Journeys
Interview
After filing out the online app was contacted by the DM. I had a phone interview about a week after applying. DM set up a sit down interview to ask how committed you are to customer service, your abilities to work long hours and the overview of the company.
3 weeks later the DM called to set up another face to face meeting, where he offers you 275 a week( the max) plus commissions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing out of the ordinary. Straight forward questions
Be transparent,honest, and accurate when answering questions. They are not looking to intimidate you but looking for motivational fit, self motivators and natural born leaders. All in all its pretty straight forward
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Journeys (Des Moines, IA) in Apr 2020
Interview
Ask for retail scenario examples, ask what you would do in situational examples, and ask what you future goals are. Pretty laid back interview with another store manager. Second interview was with SM and district manager.

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Journeys in Oct 2019
Interview
First interview is with the store manager of the store you're applying to. Second is with the district manager. First interview went great. Typical questions concerning your skills, management abilities and personal characteristics. Second interview was very much the same, but the DM had such a hostile tone that I felt like I was wasting their time and didn't last nearly as long as the first. That plus the deceptive job posting* soured me so much on the company. I was never contacted after meeting with the DM.
*You're not actually applying for the store manager position, but co-manager. You'll be required to work 45+ hours a week and 6 days a week during busy periods like holidays, so say goodbye to any work/life balance. Pay is base plus commission, but an estimate isn't even given to you if you ask.
