I applied through an employee referral. The process took a year or more. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Greenville, SC) in Oct 2015
Interview
I was interviewed by the District Manager and a Store Manager who was the next in line to become a training District Manager. I was referred by a friend. We had a great two hour interview/ chat, however I was never offered a position with the company even after a subsequent phone interview with the Zone Director. I did receive a phone call from the DM months later to inform me I was still being considered and that he appreciated my patience. Several months after this he promoted an existing Assistant Manager to Store Manager in this immediate area, begging me to ask the question why I was even granted an initial interview if the company favors internal candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a difficult situation you encountered in one of your past jobs where you had to assemble a team quickly.
I had three separate interviews, one in person and two by phone. My first was in a store with the district manager who would be my direct supervisor and the next were with higher-up leaders in the company.

Question 1
They asked about times when I'd had opportunities to improve in previous management positions, and how I knew that I was moving the needle in those areas
After applying, you will complete a test. There are two in person interviews. The first was with a district manager and then with the next level leader. both are done in person
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
3 interviews, one interview with a DM which was very direct and they were transparent on what kind of store I was getting into. then zone director which is the DMs boss which was more about my goals and how they can help me achieve them,and after that the VP of the region which was their boss. I think Once you get DM approved you are good
