Interviewed Oct 2011 in Monroe, LA (took 4 days)
The hiring process did not take long at all. I was contacted by a recruiter who asked my skillset and things like that. Two days later I was contacted by the same recruiter who wanted me to take an assessment test. The test was a little hard but I did pretty good because the recruiter contacted me the next day to set up a face to face with the hiring manager. The interview took maybe 20min. It was a panel of 2 but only one guy asked the questions.. offered the position 3 hours later.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Monroe, LA (took 3 weeks)
I was basically brought in and asked about my experience. I was then asked questions pertaining to the responsibilities of the job, and how well I would feel that I would be able to perform them. It was a very straightforward and comfortable experience.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
The recruiter gave me a call to ask some basic questions like, are you still interested in the position? do you have experience in customer service or sales, and then gave me a date and time on an interview. When I went to the interview it was like a job fair type of environment, where the recruiter talked about the position and explained that we would be interviewed individually by the supervisors. In my one on one interview I was asked about my sales experience, how I felt about commission based environment and ensured the training would teach me everything I needed to know about operating systems and how to be a great salesman. A week later I received a call from the recruiter to offer me the position.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 days)
First there was a phone interview which lasted about 30 minutes. I got a good feel for the company and answered a series of questions. Next was an in-person interview which lasted about 45 minutes. A couple of weeks later an offer was extended. The offer was good, the benefits are good. After a background check and drug screening, I was given a start date.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I was called for an interview 2 weeks later after I applied for position. The hiring manager was very nice. There was normal interview questions and was more like a conversation. I was offered the postion at a GREAT rate of pay plus commission. I accepted and now waiting for drug test results so I can begin my new exciting job. Training and benefits were also discussed. I was also able to meet other reps that are working there as well. Advice for others is to be yourself and relax a little answer the question to your best this is a sales position soo if you have a sales background you will be fine.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 6 weeks)
The interview was over the phone. They were quick to get back with me. It was a no pressure interview. Just a simple one on one interview with a mixture of behavioral and traditional questions. We went over my resume and the interviewer asked some questions about my work experience.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 weeks)
It was an internal position opening. I applied and was contacted within 3 days to come for an interview the following week. I went to another building and had a 2 on 1 interview. I was asked sales scenario questions. There was a huge focus on sales, being proactive, overturning objects, etc. After that, I was asked some personality questions about my strengths and flaws. After that interview, I interviewed with the general manager. They tried to get a feel as to how much money I needed in commission a month. They let me know the average that a rep made (which was inflated) and what to expect. Following that, I shadowed someone for about 30 minutes.
