Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 2 months)
Very situational interview. I was asked to explain how I would respond in different scenarios. Very customer service driven. The philosophy is find great people that understand customer service and then teach them BB&B because some things are not trainable. The interview process is extremly intense and usually consist of atleast two face to face interviews, one of them being with the Regional Manager

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Typical interview, standardized questions from list. Was contacted by company after resume was viewed on job board. At interview found out job was for a different division of company than originally thought. Was told would hear back within 2 week period whether job offer or not. Did not receive any follow up until 1 month later, by regular mail. Was somewhat dismayed by contact experience.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Tampa, FL (took 2 weeks)
First got phone interview and found out that the jobs advertised were future jobs and not real. All new people start out as department managers and must work your way up ( about 2 or more years) phone interview takes about one hour ( about 1/2 is them telling you about the job and the company). If that goes ok and you pick the right salary range (about 39,000 per year) then they get back to you in about a week and set up a 1 to 1 interview. Standard interview nothing trickey. Mine went well and they said they would call. About 2 week later I get a letter in the mail saying they did not choose me. A hint for everyone is that if you are older they will not choose you. Go in the stores and look around and you will see what I mean.

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 1 week)
I interviewed from a job fair they were holding. My interviewers looked through my resume then called me up for the initial conference, a store manager. Then onto the district manager.
He didn't really ask me any questions. I kept trying to showcase my talents and experience but I guess he already had his mind made up. He just kept telling me about the structure of the company and expectation. I guess that was a good thing because they offered me a job working 60 hours a week.

They explained how they are unique in how they repleinsh their store compared to other retailers. They do not have a centeralized distribution center so all the orders they make are basically by hand. They explain that this is hard for a lot of new managers have a hard time understanding.

Negotiation Details
Definately ask for a raise once you get promoted from Department manager to Assistant. They generally will not give you any money.
