I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Houston, TX) in Oct 2022
Interview
Great in-person interview process. Post-interview they move incredibly slowly. The offer came after multiple phone calls and text messages. Hiring managers seem to be slightly unprofessional. Overall it could be a regional or store issue.
