Interviewed Aug 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took a day)
Walked in and asked for an application. Was directed to the website. 48 hours after applying online, was contacted via e-mail for an interview. 1:1 interview, no pressure, felt more like a conversation.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
The interview was pretty simple, I filled out an application online and was called by the manager pretty quickly. It was a very easy interview, considering it was just for a retail position. It was a quick interview inside the store at one of the dining displays. After the interview, I was contacted two days later to be notified I got the position.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Tucson, AZ (took a day)
Applications are done online only. The store that you apply to has a specific number, and each store has a manager that will contact you either via email or phone call to talk to you about your availability based on the times and positions they need to fill. During the holiday season they will hire a lot of temporary seasonal help that may lead to a non-temporary position. Getting a full-time position is very rare unless you are a department head, supervisor, or manager.
For the interview, be prepared to sit down with the manager and to be asked about your actions and reactions to past jobs, what good and bad experiences you have had with previous employers as well as what and why they occurred, why you want to work for Cost Plus World Market and why you would be a good fit for the company. Very basic and generic interview process, but if they offer you a position they will notify you via email.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiation for pay did not occur. Negotiation on hours available and changing shifts is dependent on the manager. This area will vary from store to store.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Scottsdale, AZ (took a day)
Great interview. It went super smooth and wasn't intimidating at all. We mostly talked of what we like to do outside of work. The interviewer asked basic questions of my past employers and what my sales experience was with them. The hardest question I was asked was "what was an exceptional level of customer service that you have either received or given?" This makes me feel like working at Cost Plus may be fun and laid back.
