I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Payless ShoeSource (Detroit, MI) in May 2014
Interview
It was super simple. I got two interviews. One with the manager and the second with the district manager. They just wanted me to showcase my retail skills and give background about previous jobs. Very standard questions.
