I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Vitamin Shoppe (Houston, TX) in Jun 2012
Interview
There were two interviews. The questions were behavioral based questions. The interview was pretty simple. First you meet with the local market manager and then you will move on to a follow up interview with the District Manager. Some of the questions will be the same in the second interview. You should be specific in your examples, stating precise previous experiences.
