Interviewed Dec 2010 in Phoenix, AZ (took a day)
Walked in and applied for the job. Called to see if manager had gotten a chance to look at my application a few times. Finally got an interview 2 weeks later. Had a one on one with the general manager. She had me sign some paperwork and showed me around the restaurant and then told me I needed to get my food handlers card and to start the next week.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
Once I submitted my resume for review I was contacted by the Area Business Manager. After he interviewed with me, I had to wait for the HR office in Colorado to email me a link to an online assessment that took about an hour to complete. I also had to fill out an electronic background consent form. It took about a week to receive the response. Once that was cleared, I had a phone interview with the Regional Manager. The interviews were very detailed, they definitely require verifiable references that they will follow up with. After the interviews, tests, and background check was considered
Negotiation Details
They are pretty straight forward about what they will pay and they offer a very competitive package.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Draper, UT (took 2 weeks)
I went in for the interview, the manager then had me fill out an application- which I obviously already did since they called me in for the interview. Second, they did the interview at one of the tables in the middle of the store during their lunch rush so it was very noisy and the table we sat at was filthy. Third the manager was a Chinese woman who didn't speak very much English so the interviewing was very difficult, I had to keep repeating back what she just said to see if I understood her right.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I responded to an online ad by emailing my resume to them. I got a call for a first interview after about 2 weeks. My first interview was with the General Manager. She sheduled a second interview with the Assistant Manager 3 days later. After a week and a half I called the store and was told that the position was filled but there was a Customer Service position that I could take and work my way up to the Shift Manager. With the economy the way it is, I accepted the Customer Service position.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1+ week)
Recruiter made appointment through email. She was very friendly. Asked a lot of detailed questions that you really need to think about like how do you make your employees accountable, how do you create a good work environment, what would you do to roll out a new menu item. While we were on the phone she was typing a lot. I think she was trying to record my answers. This was the first phone interview that occurred. She told me a little about the company and a little about the position and at the end answered any questions I had.
She said she would call or email back if there would be a second interview.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 days)
The interview process was extremely easy and the hiring managers were very polite. This is my first job, and everything was well presented on their part. I went in and picked up and application and spoke with the manager that day and said they'd give me a call later on in the week. I was scheduled for an interview witin a day or two and they then requested a second interview. They basically told me I was hired at the fors interview and at the second, it mainly involved saying expectations and I was then hired on the spot and told about my duties.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Las Vegas, NV (took a day)
Einsteins posted a hiring day on several job sites, so I decided to go down and check it out. When I got there there was 2 people doing interviewing in a store location. They handed me a packet with an application to fill out. After waiting about 40 minutes a lady came over and looked at my application briefly and asked me a few questions. Previously I owned my own Tavern and Restaurant and then had 18 years with a large company, the last 6 running a fresh foods department that did over 1.5 million a year in sales. I have had previous restaurant exp but it was over 22 years ago. She asked me about my employer at my last job which I informed her she was looking at him, then she asked me why I left my last job "didn't I like it?" I told her to follow the American Dream and open my own business. At this point she looked like a deer in the headlights, I discussed my previous restaurant exp and then she informed me that they needed 3 years exp for a GM and 2 for an AGM. I explained to her that at the Tavern I was the GM but she told me I that was not the same. I thanked her and got up and left. I felt the whole process was unprofessional and poorly handled. Also as a deeply rooted believer in customer satisfaction she handled her responses very poorly as I will never step foot in one of their stores again. I had an interview the following week with a major coffee company, apparently they thought my experience was valid.
