I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at JCPenney (Colorado Springs, CO) in Aug 2015
Interview
Building blocks. We were given a photo for 10 seconds then required to explain to the other 6 people how to build it without touching it. The building process was a lot more difficult then I expected, the photo was hard to see the different colors, and 6 people made it very difficult to get your hands into the blocks. We were then called up one at a time for a one on one interview with an HR associate and the General Manager, they were both very nice. So far the company seems great.

Question 1
After mentioning that he studied work psychology and that he was more interested in how I found my answer then the answer itself he asked me "Are you more of a logical or mathematical thinker" and "If you have 2 regular 6-sided dice what is the chance of you getting a 7?"
Easy, got hired in 1 week and was able to start as soon as possible. It was a good process and I liked the people I interviewed with. The culture is off to a positive start.
