I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Five Below (Spotsylvania, VA) in May 2015
Interview
Not too bad, though my GM at the time forgot he had hired me and was surprised when I showed up to fill paperwork when he told me to. Poor GM (since been replaced), but the other managers I talked to during my interview process were a delight and I have enjoyed a healthy work relationship with them since.
