I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tom James Company
Interview
Most, if not all candidates are brought in through college sales program. There's typically a phone screen/skype interview before getting asked to come into the office. If you're offered to come into one of the local offices, you spend a day or two following the sales people and you really get to see them in action. This allows you to have a real glimpse of what an actual day is like in their shoes. At the end of your follow days you'll sit down at some point with a hiring manager for the formal interview.

Question 1
Most will be business cased questions: "tell me about a time when you had a goal and what you did to acheieve it?"
3 meetings, 1 meeting 4 hrs. Initial call, 2nd call. Final call. They recruit. Not likely to apply and hear from them. The scout the talent mostly on LinkedIn. They base their decision on how many yes/no you get from the four panelist.
They promise good health care coverage, then they say “well you should make enough to cover your own”.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tom James Company (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2022
Interview
There were 5 different stages of interviews. 2 phone calls that were 5-15 minutes long to basically get a basis. Then there was an hour long zoom call to go more in depth about the company and you. Finally there was an in-person follow day at the store for the final round. I spoke with different people for each round so it was nice to see different perspectives,
The interview process was very professional, friendly, and informative. I was able to grasp a firm understanding about what the company was about and what exactly the role would look like.
