Interviewed Mar 2012 in Jacksonville, FL (took a day)
Interviewer called me from an unknown number. We jumped right into reviewing my resume followed by some scenario/behavioral questions. The whole interview lasted about 35 minutes. The interviewer was very professional though he offered little feedback beyond 'okay'. He said HR would be contacting me in the next few days. I heard back from them 37 days later. I didn't get the job and I'm sure it was because they wanted more working experience with excel than I have.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Eden Prairie, MN (took a day)
The interview process was simple enough, once we had it scheduled. The HR representative who interviewed me was nice enough and fairly thorough. The skills assessment was simple, a basic MS Office suite exam. The offer came back to me in a few days and I started a week later.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 5 days)
Applied online.
Talked on the phone with HR rep same day, (very nice lady), asked about my retail and management experience.
Waited 1 day and received a call from the positions direct supervisor. Asked more questions about personal integrity, work ethic and questions about theoretical situations. what would I do if an associate was not doing the job within company standards for example.
Waited 2 days called back with offer, accepted.
Company was hiring for a new position so exact details about the territory and training we sparse.
In general very positive experience, everyone I talked to was very friendly and personable, didn't feel like other phone interviews I have had where you can tell that they are just asking the questions from a list,
seemed actually interested in my answers.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)
The team that interviewed me had worked with me in the past. We talked a lot about what I had been doing sine we worked together last. They valued my experiance. We had worked well together in the past, so I was hired after my drug test and background check.I knew I was going to be hired quite quickly. A member of the interview team started talking about company benifits almost at once. Overall it was a pleasant relaxed enjoyable interview. Having done business with this company with my former job, I was looking forward to cathing up with"the gang"

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 days)
There was a telephone interview. I was asked how far I lived from the city I was applying for. If i had a computer and confirmed everything on the application. I was then asked if I wanted the job. I asked if I could be emailed te benefits package. I then called her back to say I wanted the job. I was sent the previous years cost. So when I learn the new cost I decided that I could not afford medical insurance. I was told that my unit manager would call me to set up a time to meet. She told me what I would be doing. I thought i would be doing the job alone. I did for two months. Then managers of the store wanted to follow me to get data as I went along. This could be stressfull. My unit manager is difficult to talk to.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Norfolk, VA (took a day)
I was given a tour of the Mail room, introduced to the two employee's present and then taken to a conferance room with a total of a three person panel. I had done a lot of research about this company before hand and was more a little leary about them based on what people currently working there had to say. I was over quailied for the job. They asked me to email them my salary request by Monday AM. The interview was on Friday afternoon. Three weeks later I got an email stating they had hired another canidate.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
The interview was fairly easy and the interviewer did most of the talking. Seemed to want a candidate with a degree and felt if he/she found a candidate with a degree they would most likely get the job.
Never heard back from Acosta one way or the other about whether I got the job.
