I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bed Bath & Beyond (Salinas, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Interview was not very intensive, I dont feel like they have a prepared set of questions. They do actually check your references though and will not hire without them. Actual hiring process after being offered job is long and monotonous. 4+ hours of paperwork, job review and training videos, followed by 20+ more training hours on floor.
