      Sales Associate Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Greenwood, SC
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Goodwill (Greenwood, SC) in Jan 2015

      Interview

      I applied online. Got a call a couple weeks later. The questions where very basic, nothing hard. The whole hiring process took a couple of weeks. They do a background check, anyone with a theft offense probably will not be hired.
