Interviewed Sep 2011 in Glendale, AZ (took 4+ weeks)
My Dad knew the owner of the store so he was able to set me up with an interview. My first interview was with one of the managers. It was a very easy interview where he just asked me general questions about myself and why I wanted to work for Chick Fil A. After that initial interview he told me they would be in touch. They never called me so I ended up calling them about 3 weeks later. When I did they wanted to set me up with a second time. It was basically the same type of interview situation as the last one, easy questions about myself and my availability. Ultimately I was not offered a job because I was not able to commit working for a full year. I guess that particular store had been getting a lot of employees who would quit without much warning so they had instated a policy where you had to be able to commit to a year or more of work. I was disappointed but overall it was a good learning experience.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Strongsville, OH (took 1 week)
Applied in person during initial hiring at store opening, 1:1 interview with corporate employee immediately. Called the interviewer the same day offering a second interview. Interviewed by owner and his wife, both very nice and easy to talk to. Called by the owner a few days later offering the job. Annoying training process involving safety and "Second Mile" training, which I use very little on a day-to-day basis. Most of the useful training was taught on the job.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Chick-fil-A had open interviews last summer. 1:1 interview consisted of basic questions with no surprises, and the interviewer (an advertising manager) was nice and accommodating. This was my first ever job interview, so I was focused more on getting interview experience first than getting hired since there were so many people there. About 130 people applied for the 2 available positions. I plan on applying at Chick-fil-A again.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Wheaton, IL (took 1 week)
Applied in the store, followed up a week later and got an interview scheduled. The interview was pretty easy, general questions like what do you like to do, what do you believe in for customer service, etc. Was told I'd receive another call back about a second interview, but got no call back.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 2 days)
Took my application in in december, and got a call in April. First interview was with another person, and was sort of a friendly competition because i knew her. At the end he said he liked the both us and said he wanted us to come back tomorrow for a second interview.
The second interview was 1:1 and I had to ask him three questions. (I asked him four just in case). At the end he said all these things that he liked about me and that he hired from the heart. He said to call him in a week.
I called him and he said to call him two days from today becuase he hasn't made his final decision.
He ended up calling me the next day (a day early) and offering me the job, and i accepted :)

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
I applied in paper, turned it in before school one day. It took about a week, and I decided to call them. (ALWAYS CALL, it shows you're interested in the job.) I called and asked if they still had my application, and he told me my application was at the bottom of the list, so he read through it, and told me he was going to move it to the top. Two days later, I had an interview scheduled.
Went in, we talked. He told me that he always hired from the heart.
Smile, be true, be honest. He wanted to four pillars to a successful restaurant. He wanted someone who could treat the other coworkers like family. If you aren't willing, don't apply.
Only downside was having to interview in front of customers, but it was alright. We laughed and joked a lot, so it looked like we were just sitting and chit chatting. They also offered me drinks multiple times for free! :D

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
Walked in recieved application, then left. Came back next day and luckly the manager was in, and he talked to me for a few minutes. Then about 1 week later an interview was scheduled (they called me). It was a group interview 3 people. Me and 2 College girls. It went well. When asked "Are there any queations?", I waited a second and then thanked the owner and the manager for their time (I was the first one to do so). They called back a week later and another interview was scheduled. It was 1 on 1 with the owner. I was hired after a few questions. Orientation 2 weeks later.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Sandy, UT (took 2 days)
The nice thing was one of the team members gave me a free drink while I waited to be interviewed. The down side is they interviewed me in the dining area with customers all around. I found that embarrassing and it was hard to hear. I found the manager very unprofessional. For example my interview was held in the winter time so when I said it was really cold out he said "yeah, no sh*t." I thought he seemed very bored and like he didn't care at all.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
New store opening.
Over 1000 applicants, hired about 75.
3 Interview process - seems to be typical for any given CFA restaurant.
Two assistant managers and the owner/manager were part of the interview team.
They were fairly structured in the interviews and asked some detailed questions.
The people are exceptionally easy to talk to and to work for.
The work culture is positive but intense.
The company is very focused on labor control and definitely expect a hard days work from every member.
