Interviewed Feb 2012 in Dallas, TX (took 2 weeks)
I got a call because he found my resume online. I went in for a "casual" interview the next day. He was extremely skilled at interviewing. It was very by the book, and he expected a me to ask for the job with a "sales close" at the end of the interview. Not that he directly asked for it, but I was cued with the, "Do you have any questions?" bit, to which I explained I felt I was a great fit for the job and asked what the next steps were (sales close). He prompted me to close 3 times (maybe because my first 2 closes weren't so solid, lol). This led to a 2nd interview, which was all day and included a ride-along with a sales rep. The sales mgr told me in the interview (before the ride-along) that alot was riding on what the sales rep said about me in regards to our ride-along. Later in the ride-along, the sales rep told me he had no influence whatsoever on whether or not I get hired (funny- that's not what the sales manager said...).
They are very "by the book" when it comes to sales interviews, as is their sales training, and the job itself. Expect STAR format questions, roleplay questions where you need to close a sale, and then cold calling on the phone and cold calling on the road in your ride-along. The whole day you need to be willing to hustle and perform, and that's what you need to expect to do on the job as well, in my opinion.
It sounds like alot of money can be made if you have the skills, talent, and discipline. Everyone has been very friendly throughout the entire process.
I'm still waiting to find out where I stand after the all day interview...

Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
Interview was brief, informal, and a waste of time. They were late getting to me and seemed like they didn't care about the interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 1+ week)
I was called for a phone interview. Then I was asked to meet with the sales manager the next week. The interview consisted of situational questions and typical strength/weakness interview. I am getting ready for my third interview the the VP. I was told if that goes well there will be a day of driving/riding with an existing sales rep. We will see. They seem very professional and it seems like a great company to work for.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Romeoville, IL (took 1 week)
When you pass the initial phone interview, you are brought into the location you applied to. You will then interview the HR again, as well as the General Manager of the location. After that, other manager will tag team interview you. In total I interviewed with 7 different managers in one day. The questions are basic but they expect detailed answers.
