I applied online and got a call from a manager 10 days later asking if I would be available for an in person interview. We set up the date and time and hung up. I went in for my interview and was asked to tell her about myself. She then explained about Ross and their procedures. She asked me why I wanted to work for Ross. I gave her my several reasons and she asked me if what she had described in the position details would be acceptable to me and I agreed. She then offered me the position contingent on my background check. A week later my background check came in and I received a phone call asking what time I was available for orientation. We set up the time and date and hung up. I had two emails from Ross before orientation with some of the hiring paperwork and W-4 forms. They were to be completed before orientation. Orientation lasted 8 hours and began with the usual reading pamphlets and watching the store videos. We signed papers and then were given a tour of the store. After that, we were paired up with a buddy trainer to begin the training process.

The interview process at Ross Dress for Less consisted of meeting with a store manager to discuss my customer service experience, cash handling skills, and ability to work in a fast-paced retail environment. I was asked situational questions about handling customers, teamwork, and resolving problems. The process was straightforward and focused on my availability, work ethic, and ability to support store operations
