I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Academy Sports + Outdoors (Atlanta, GA) in Sept 2011
Interview
One on one discussion with department manager. He was professional and treated me with respect. He asked basic questions. Do I hunt and fish? Do I know about firearms? They will hire almost anyone who applies due to low applicants due to low wages and low increases. High turnover. Old associates do talk to friends and advise them about the pay and low increases at review time.

Question 1
So tell me about yourself? Do you hunt and/or fish? Do you know about firearms?
How many hours do you expect per week?
the interview process at academy sports + outdoors was so so so easy and simple almost made it a joke and truth be told if and when you are hired the job training is little to poor making you feel unprepared for the job.
