I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pret A Manger (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
I saw a post on craigslist, so i applied. I was called back the next day for an interview.
I went to their location in 42nd st and i was honestly impressed. Everything looked so professional, and the lady that called me seemed really nice. She asked me to fill out an application on their computer and when i was finished i was interviewed by another lady. I feel like she had her mind made up before even talking to me. She seemed uninterested the whole time, which made me not really care about my answers. I realized that the girl interviewed before me when into the office with another guy, and was filling out papers. In my opinion she was hired. So when the lady who was interviewing me said she'd call to let me know, i knew what that meant. I was never called back.
