I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Teavana (Tysons Corner) in Jul 2014
Interview
It was easy, laid back. Definitely doable as someone's first job. They're understanding of the large learning curve associated with tea. They do realize most people don't know what it is or have ever experienced loose Lief so they want to make sure you're able to memorize a very large amount of information i so you can sound knowledgeable about it. Even the 3 hours they spend just teaching you to brew teas is a lot of learning. But its a fun job once you know the stuff. Way easier than Starbucks for the same benefits.

Question 1
A lot of situational questions:/name a time when you were angry, name a time you were working with multiple people, if you had all of these different things going on which one would you do first. What do you do if the supervisor or a customer irritates you?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Teavana (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
The manager was on time and kind. He asked common interview questions and a few advanced because he was trying to see if I would be a good fit for a manager position given my experience. I asked how I did after and he gave a very honest answer which I always really appreciate

Question 1
What would you do if a sales associate wasn't meeting their sales goals?
Very quick interview, not very in depth when it came to my prior experiences. Polite and direct, very clear in laying out the expectations and the requirements of the job.

Interview
The interview process wasn't long or tedious. It took only one interview because the Assistant Manager was out of town assisting another storm. The longest part was waiting for the background check
