I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yankee Candle (Wauwatosa, WI) in Jun 2021
Interview
Straight forward - very by the book and not an abundance of questions. Did not take long and was finished within 45 minutes. I did not end up pursuing the role but for reasons other than the interview.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yankee Candle (Gilbert, AZ) in Feb 2025
Interview
3 interviews, 1 in-store and two over the phone, but they mis-scheduled the last interview and never communicated about rescheduling. Ended up walking away if they were already this disorganized.
