I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at REI (Sumner, WA) in Jul 2010
Interview
The interview was in a very comfortable setting. A word of advice do a little research on the outdoor products that the company sells. They will ask you a favorite you own and ask you to sell it. They really look for people that live the companies values. A lot of standard questions involved (what to do with down time, customer experience levels etc.)

You never meet someone, instead they have you pre record your answers to their questions in an interview app on your phone at home. Then you just wait and hope they call. Super awakward but may be less stressful for those nervous in interviews.

You download an app that video records your answers to their questions, which come as pre video recorded (not live) employees asking you questions. Once you've recorded, you can't redo it so make sure you use their provided practice lessons.
