I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Brookstone (Houston, TX) in Feb 2017
Interview
Process took about a week. Had two interviews, first one was quick and easy. Second interview was little bit harder because it was with the actual hiring manager (who was two hours late, might I add.) Detailed questions about what you’ll do in certain situations and your sales experience.

Question 1
What strategies would you use to motivate your team?
Mainly questions based on customer interactions and scenarios. Recommend wearing all black business attire. Be clean cut (facial hair and hair) no tattoos and piercings. Can be very awkward as well.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Brookstone (Los Angeles, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
It was a very relaxed setting. I was asked a variety of questions based on different possible scenarios. Seemed pretty simple and straight forward. The manager was down to earth and took the time to listen to my answers while discussing ethics, management, and sales.

Interview
Interview was a breeze. Found it to be really dumb though. Two interviews. First one with a first assistant manager and second one with the store manager. They ask you general retail questions and afterwards tell you if they’re interested that they’ll call you in about a week. They called me not even 15 min out of my interview.
