Well I do not know the process 100%, but from what I do know they ask you where do you want to work/train prior to hiring you. You pick a division, for example; Center Valley division in PA is responsible for Eastern PA and New Jersey. Technically they can stick you anywhere in the division, but they do consider where you live and try to accommodate that. Didn't work out with my girlfriend that way, she had to move to Brick, NJ for her training, and I THINK her territory will be in Southern Jersey when she finishes. So yea you might get placed somewhat far away from home, and with Jersey morning commute you would be better off if you moved closer to the store.
Technically she lives (her parents house) like an hour away from the store, but that would be impossible to get to in jersey traffic early in the morning, often times you have to be at work at 5 am too, so living far away is not that great either, unless you hate sleep.
As far as stores being too far apart, they tend to reassign them pretty often, at least to my knowledge. So you will not be stuck with one store in Sussex county and 3 more in Southern Jersey. That wouldn't be good for their business.
P.S. If memory serves me correctly they will pay the difference in the lease contract if you rent a place and have to leave the housing earlier than expected. I thought that was nice too.
