Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 1 week)
You do an online application and questionarie/quiz type of thing (takes about an hour). The interview with the manager took about 30 minutes (she read the entire interview off a piece of paper, somewhat awkward/not professional, not intimidating at all which is good)

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Tallahassee, FL (took a day)
I went into the store to fill out an application, talked with some of the other sales associates and they were all very kind. A few days after turning in the application I received a call back for an interview with the assistant manager. It was an easy interview and in some ways didn't even seem like an interview. Another few days went by and I was called back and was offered a position. So the next week I started training which lasted for about the first 20 hours of working there.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Deer Park, NY (took a day)
I applied online and got a call back a few days later. I was asked to come in for an interview in a few days and I did. The lady was really nice and asked me a few basic questions which weren't too hard. It didn't take too long. I got a call back a week later &they offered me a job and offered $8.25 which I thought was pretty good. I accepted basically cause I was desperate.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Paramus, NJ (took a day)
This store was looking for people and I was looking for a job fast so we set up the interview immediately (maybe 2 days after I submitted my application). The general manager was very friendly and the questions were very easy seeing as this was my first job. The interview was held in the backroom. The questions were the ones usually asked like "Why do you want to work here?" and "What are your strengths and weaknesses?". Then, I was lead to the floor to assess my customer service skills. I was told to go up to a person and ask if they needed any assistance, something I did not expect. That task was not difficult since there were not a lot of customers around and the customer happened to be very nice. I was offered the job at the end of the interview.
