The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Vitamin Shoppe (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2012
Interview
Pretty standard customer service/retail interview. I think I stood out because of my genuine interest in health/nutrition, so if you watch a couple of youtube videos on the importance of supplements, I think that may give you an edge. The asst manager and store manager interviewed me 1:1 in the stock room. There was no one else on staff which I hope translates into decent work hours. The interviewers were nice and one was a non-stop talker but interview personalities will obviously vary greatly from person to person and thats with any job at any level.
Other tips just make sure you do a little research on the company, I forgot about this but I winged it and did fine.
