I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ross Stores (Richmond, TX) in Mar 2012
Interview
Applied to Ross after seeing an in-store sign. The sign said that all applicants will be called in a couple of days. I received a call 10 days after applying on-line. The interview was scheduled for 3 days later.
The interview was conducted by the assistant and store manger. The questions were very basic.
1) Describe a time when you noticed someone stealing. What was the situation? What did you do? What was the outcome?
2) Do you think tardiness is acceptable? Why or why not?
3) Talk about your previous work history.
4) Why Ross?

Question 1
Describe a time when you noticed someone stealing. What was the situation? What did you do? What was the outcome?
it was very pleasant and they will almost always hire you if you are a tolerable person who can work hard and well with others. It would be strange to not hear back from them within a week due to how much demand they usually have for employees.
Very lowkey. They asked basic interview questions. They just wanted to know availability for work and if you’re available during their most busy hours. Nothing super professional, but they want to make sure you’re going to actually come into work.
When arriving, they do accommodate you to sit in the break room while waiting on an interview, which is great because you’re not standing around the store looking crazy. When you get in the back and we’ll meet with the Store Manager or an assistant manager short it seems rushed like they genuinely didn’t have time set aside for interviews. They were trying to move along candidates.
