Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 3 days)
Received a call from recruiting and was asked basic questions about job and was told a manager would call me. Manager calls and sets up an interview for two days later. I arrived for the interview to find out the manager was not there nor did he tell the assistant manager about the interview. The assistant manager somewhat interviewed me but told me the manager was not on location due to being hungover from watching the red sox game the night before. At that point I left immediately completely unprofessional and a waste of time.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Applied online, received phone call from manager several days after. Went in for interview, basic questions, where do you see yourself, strengths/weaknesses, etc. Then did skills/personality assessment on-site plus went for drug test. Skills test consisted of a lot of basic algebra type math equations, no calculator, but given scratch paper. Received second call the week after, went in for second interview with district manager, similar to first. Mostly generic interview questions. Did not receive an offer.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
Started with a brief e-mail to set up a time to come in for an interview. Came in for the interview and took a computer skills test which revolved around 84 lumber and the building materials the store handles. This consisted of adding/subtracting/dividing/multiplication and the use of fractions. Pretty easy test. Questions like: "Here is a list of our stores lumber inventory: A truck comes and takes 42 sheets of 2X4X6. How many sheets are left?" Just take your time and read the questions very carefully. You do need to pay attention to detail on this b/c some of the questions are worded tricky. After they check your test score (assuming you pass) they brought me to talk to the main recruiter who was hiring for the location. I talked with him for about 15 minutes as we stood in the back of the lumber store. Easy interview. Basic questions. Relaxed and laid back setting.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I chose to decline the offer b/c of the pay and work schedule. You never would know your schedule until the week of. Working weekends were mandatory and not having 2 consecutive days off, along with the low base pay were my main factors.
Seemed like a good job for recent college grads who want experience.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Niagara Falls, NY (took 2 weeks)
Alot of odd questions in the questionaire, basically did I want to beat people up on a regular basis or do drugs everyday. Test on Old computer to see if I could do basic math (I have a degree in accounting). Store manager was an alright guy but didn't pay much attention to customer while I was there. Area manager was alright.
