Interview
You will get an email regarding a "phone screen" interview. The phone interview is pretty simple but there are a lot of questions and one regarding what you like about the Rack. After the phone interview, you will receive an email asking you to set up an in-person interview at the store. My interview was very casual and it was easy for me to tell that I would most likely get the job. They ask you a lot of the same questions or similar ones to the phone interview. You get a phone call roughly a week after that telling you that you have been hired, what your starting rate is, when your orientation is, etc.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Charlotte, NC) in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied online and a day later received an email to set up phone interview. The phone interview literally was ONE question which was what was my availability. That’s it. After that I was told I was moved forward and receive a call from HR located in the store i’d Be interviewing at. I was called a day or two later and went in a few days later for an in person interview. The interview was very laid back and relaxing. They asked behavioral questions and also questions about availability. After the interview I was told I’d Hear something within 48 hours. 48 hours passed and I received a call from a different manager and she said that they had a few more candidates to interview and they’d call me back soon. A day or two later they called me to offer me the job. I accepted and she said she’d call me back to give me a start date. Weeks passed and I didn’t hear anything so I called myself. I was told that they didn’t hire enough people so I should be start the end of the month which was a week away. Still nothing. I called when that time frame passed (at this point I’m actively looking for a new job). I was then told by Hr that she spoke to the manager that hired me and they liked me but they went through a “system update” so there for they couldn’t put me into their system until the week of April 1st. I was told to call April 1st and they could get me started. At this point I’m still looking for jobs and having no luck. April first came and I called. I was then told that the system update wouldn’t be until the following week -_-. So after still having no luck finding another job, I called the next week as instructed. I was told “well the managers finally did the system update and I can’t say that their priority right now is hiring” thankfully I got hired somewhere else but I don’t appreciate this company wasting my time and I’ll never apply to work there ever again and idk about even shopping there
