Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 days)
I am stressed after reading all of the reviews that have been posted for this company. The first inteview was informal and the co-manager made it very clear that selling the discount card was a huge priority. I love this store and remain hopeful.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took a day)
The interview wasn't very long. I thought it had gone pretty well despite the fact that I was nervous. She told me that it was a two-interview process and that I would possibly receive a call at the end of the week to come back for the second interview. However, yesterday I received an e-mail from them saying that I did not get the job.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Fort Myers, FL (took 2 weeks)
At the time, the old GM was being relocated so I ended up being interviewed by the old and new GM. They were both very friendly, asked if I minded selling their Millionaire's Club Card and Magazines For Millionaires programs, and inquired about my life and experience. I was told by a former employer that BAM did in fact check my references, thankfully they all gave me glowing reviews.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)
Applied online, received interview date, background check performed, paperwork, offer, training. This is a very easy company to interview for. They are not that professional. This company is looking for sales people. They are very number oriented and are focused on hiring people who are yes men.

Interviewed Nov 2007 in Leesburg, FL (took a day)
I applied online after a recommendation by a friend who currently worked there. Was called in for an interview a couple days later. The interview took place in the customer area of the coffe shop Joe Mugs. The interview lasted 10 to 15 minutes. The manager asked a few basic questions and thanked me and left. I did not hear back from them after that.

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took a day)
Interviewed one on one. Asked questions relating to personality, conflict, customers, and reading. Not too sure what they are looking for when it comes to personality/conflict. I am not a violent person, maybe just not aggresive enough? Hmmmm....
