Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Company seems very professional. Very sales driven. Good money to be made in sales. Company believes in promoting from within. Seems very focused on taking care of it's own. Great benefits. Lots of travel required for sales jobs. Had 5 interviews. 3 over phone and 2 in person. Advice for sales person interviewing with them is to stress your activity in prospecting. There is a lot of this required for their sales jobs.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took a day)
I was prescreened via phone then asked to come in for a face to face interview. The interview was fairly routine for a sales position and the ASM provided a great deal of information on the company and the pros and cons of working there. We were scheduled for a 1 hour interview but that ended up taking nearly 2 hours, which is bound to happen when you have two sales guys in a room. The immediate feedback in the interview was very positive and I'm hoping to schedule a second interview soon.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 1+ week)
Created a thorough business plan & have sold talent management deals over $150K (or $500K total value) in the past. The manager questioned my familiarity with large deals though his background was insurance and car rental industry. Strange process as I had great credentials. Phone screener/ recruiter was much more professional and thorough than the Branch Manager.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Houston, TX (took 4+ weeks)
I saw a position posted on their site and had to track down a friend of a friend to gain a first interview. The process was rather drawn out due to number of candidates and lack of time on the part of the hiring manager. The specific job duty details were not as clear as they could have been.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
After applying, i was contacted almost immediately by a recruiter. After a brief phone conversation with her, I was scheduled for an interview with the sales manager under whom I would be working. Following his interview, I met with the director of the group. These were both relatively simple interviews and I was offered a job later that day.

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took a day)
All scheduling was done through an off site recruiter, not the easiest person to get a hold of. My interview lasted over an hour with 2 individuals. The questions asked were related to my responsibilities with my current position along with overall customer service interaction. Also, joked around about how long I knew my referral. The offer came 2 days later.
