Interviewed Nov 2011 in Tampa, FL (took 2 days)
I applied via my university's career center. The company was rather quick to respond to your resume. They responded within two weeks and offered an interview. The interview was a 2:1 interview process with one interviewer taking notes and the other asking you questions. It is important to talk to both members of the interview process. The interview consisted of basic behavioral interview questions like "Name a time when you failed to meet your expectations." The most difficult part of the first round interview is the sales pitch. You are required to make a sales pitch to a potential client and they will ask you questions you DO NOT know the answers to. Just stay calm and react to it. The second round consisted of me interviewing at corporate headquarters in Atlanta, GA and this interview was much easier than the first. The second consisted of behavioral questions as well and was a breeze.

Interviewed May 2012 in Fredericksburg, VA (took 3 weeks)
Initial communications with the Coca-Cola company were set up through on campus career services. The first interview consisted of questions from district sales managers including role play. The second interview was based more on character questions and inner drive as well as ambition and ability to communicate effectively.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Springfield, IL (took 1 week)
Recruiter was great. Interview was standardized company interview with stock behavioral questions.
I received a canned email within a day of interviewing stating that I was not selected for the next round. I followed up with the two people I had interviewed with to get feedback and they never responded.
I have no idea why I wasn't given a 2nd interview, and the interviewers did not provide any feedback at all.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 2 days)
Would be a great company to work for. I was very impressed with the company, history, culture and obviously the product line. Interviews were structured and based on the STAR format compentency based questions (Situation/Task-Action-Results) so know your resume and be prepared to offer specific examples of to bring value to your qualifications. Read through the reviews and interview sections on glassdoor to get an idea on the types of questions you can anticipte. One other thing...I suggest that you know the competencies of the position you came from to tie into the competancies they are looking for. It should be fairly easy to be able to anticipate the types of questions if you prepare this way.
I found the process to be enjoyable and my intervewers to be very personable. Although I had two interviews I could pretty much tell by the end of the second interview that they were not feeling a match. I was told I was one 3 candidates that had been brought back in for a 2nd interview which consisted of a lunch interview and visiting an account to show the position's responsibilities.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 1+ week)
First, I was told to arrive 20 minutes early. Upon arrival I was told they were running behind. After and hour of sitting in the lobby, the person I was told that I was interviewing with came and greeted me and took me to his office. I was told a second manager was going to join us, that he was finishing up with another candidate. Overall, the interview was very straight forward, was told there would only be 6 questions. They use a STAR format so those six questions took over almost an hour to complete. At times there was an awkward between questions because they were taking notes. After the questions, I was given the opportunity to ask questions about the postion and company.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Dallas, TX (took 2 weeks)
1 week after applying I had initial phone interview from the recruiter lasting 30 minutes. Follow up interview within a week at CCR office. 1 Hour long panel interview with 2 upper level managers. Typical STAR type questions. One mgr very friendly and the other reserved. Said they would hopefully make a decision in a couple of weeks. No response back from mgrs or recruiter.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Brookhaven, MS (took a day)
Role play presentation. Pretty tricky because the questions they ask are not answered on the fact sheet they give you to study.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Rochester, MN (took 2 weeks)
I applied online on monster.com. A talent acquisition employee called me the next day and asked if a few basic questions about my interest. He then asked to set up a phone interview on the next day. The next day he called and asked a series of previous work experience and "what if" scenario questions that took about 10-15min. He then told me he would get in touch with the manager to set up an interview. He called be back a could days later and set an interview for another week in advance. I went to the one on one interview with the manager and was asked a similar series of questions that again took about 15min. I asked a couple questions and he came up with a couple more that took about another 10min. He offered me the job on the spot pending my background check and drug test results. I went and took the drug test that day paid for by them and started working a few days later.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I am not the best negotiator. I like to know what I'm getting into so unfortunately I don't usually push for more. The hours were set and could not be negotiated since you have to fit in with the other merchandisers schedules. The pay may be slightly argued but I doubt there would be much results. I asked for a starting pay of $12 and was told that was exactly what the starting pay was so I accepted it.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in San Antonio, TX (took 2 weeks)
After submitting resume, I was contacted within a few days from a recruiter that worked for Coca-Cola out of Dallas. There were two phone interviews that consisted of questions about my organizational skills, ability to plan my day, and level of responsibility. The final interview was in person with the two district sales managers. This interview had more one on one questions about sales and the day-to-day life of a salesman. There was also a role playing portion where I was asked to be a sales rep for a generic soda company. Overall, as long as you are prepared the interview process was not that difficult.
