I applied online. I interviewed at McAlister's (Tampa, FL) in May 2016

Very easy took under 15 minutes and I was out the door with a job. Manager was looking for people so it was easy, didn't need any qualifications just your self.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at McAlister's (Saint Louis, MO) in Aug 2016
Interview
Relaxed, somewhat informal. A few questions about my past work experience, came in the next day to fill out paperwork. At one point the store was so desperate for employees that interviewees would at times be hired on the spot.
