I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Eastern Mountain Sports (Niskayuna, NY) in Feb 2013
Interview
Behavioral interview with lots of questions about relevant outdoor or sales experience. Want to assess your ability to connect to customers as well as the rest of the staff. Retail or outdoor experience equally valuable. No drug test, part of company policy.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Eastern Mountain Sports (Hyannis, MA)
Interview
The hiring process starts with a walking application. Once this is completed, you wait for the hiring manager to call you in for an interview. You might end waiting for a few month depending on the season, but it could only be a few weeks.After the interview, it takes another week or two while they verify references then they call you with an offer if they decide to hire you. Do not expect a call back if you are not hired.

Its been a while, but beware the dreaded "sell me this pen question".
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Eastern Mountain Sports (Newton, MA) in Oct 2011
Interview
Fairly straightforward, met with two managers, follow up within a few weeks. Hiring only happens during the beginning of summer, and in fall in preparation for the holidays. If you present yourself as being an amicable person with experience outside, you'll find yourself at home with EMS. Granola crunchy types are a must apply. EMS is full of passionate individuals, and you will find each individual has a unique personality that add to the team spirit.
