Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Teavana
Very nice, loved it! Everyone was so friendly and I have never felt more seen and understood. On top of that, nobody commented on my toupee which I am very insecure about. Thank you Boulder Teavana!

Very quick 2 step interview process, the general manager was friendly and personable. Very good interview for an entry level retail position. I interviewed over 10 years ago and the company no longer exists as it was bought by Starbucks.

Anonymous Employee in Wellington, FL
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Teavana (Wellington, FL)
The interview process wasn't long or tedious. It took only one interview because the Assistant Manager was out of town assisting another storm. The longest part was waiting for the background check

- Describe a situation where you disagreed with a coworker. How did you solve it?

Anonymous Employee in Newark, DE
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Teavana (Newark, DE) in Nov 2017
I was interviewed over the phone because the store manager loved my references and resume and she already knew she wanted to hire me, but an interview was policy. So I had a 6 minute phone interview.
- Why should we hire you?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Norfolk, VA
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Teavana (Norfolk, VA) in Jun 2017
The interview was simple and easy, she asked me questions that I knew how to answer. She was nice and said I probably have plenty of experience from working at my current job (grocery store). She told me she'd had other interviews and would call me in a few days to be fair, but she sent me a rejection email 15 minutes after my interview. I was shocked because I thought the interview went well so I called her and asked why and she said "we need someone for Christmas" and I told her that was available for Christmas, then she said "maybe that was someone else, we also need someone with more experience". This also confused me because she told that I probably had plenty of experience in the interview and the job description said no previous experience is needed. Either she was confused or not being truthful. Overall, this was a waste of time.
