Be prepared to be distracted. You will most likely be interviewed sitting either inside a busy mall or curbside location. You must apply online on their website. You will be contacted soon. I was contacted by email a few hours after I applied.

Interview
The interview process was very thorough, professional and friendly. The Regional Director and Area Coach of operations met with me and I event got to speak with a Training leader and other GMITs. I loved hearing about other people's journeys and it seems that everyone had been working for the company for at least 5 years. Their Regional Director has been with the company for over 15 years which is a GREAT sign.
