Applied on-line, got a call to come in and meet with Store manager. Went in and talked off to side in the store. Two days later met with DSM up in the food court area of the mall. Was told by DSM that I would be contacted in the latter part of the next week. But me being me I still called early in the week just to touch base. The whole process up to now is very lengthy. I was offered the job maybe about a little under a week following the interviews. Still waiting on background check to clear. It's now almost 2 weeks after initial correspondence. If you're patient you can wait if not I would encourage you to either keep following up or have other options on the table.

Brief, casual conversation. About 10 minutes. Very basic, surface-level questions about my desire to join Lids and my prior experience in retail. Came back the next day for a second interview with the Regional Manager. A little more in-depth, but still very casual. We discussed if Lids was a longterm career path or just a stepping stone.
