I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Athens, GA) in Nov 2014
Interview
I think they asked me like one or 2 standard questions related to customer service. They spent most of the time telling me about the position and then offered it to me on the spot.
At this store they've pretty much switched to only hiring people that are referred by another employee, so if you know someone there the interview is super easy.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Denton, TX) in Aug 2021
Interview
Went smoothly with the interview. they didn’t ask to many questions and asked about availability. the managers and working associates were kind and it’s a double interview, but not group interview
Many questions involved regarding your personal life and questions within the workplace. Was interviewed by one person. Interviews are all about conversation and not being a robot when talking to the interviewer.
