Interviewed Jan 2012 in Toledo, OH (took 2 days)
I filled out the application online and was called for an interview about a week later. It was a one on one interview with the store manager. The interview was quick and easy, the manager was inviting and friendly. The next day I was asked to come in for an assessment test. The assessment test was a nightmare! If you are going in for one, STUDY. There's about six categories, including math, with word problems, percentages, fractions, long division, there was also alphabetizing, a synonym portion, spelling, it was like an SAT. I was told I had to get a 70% to pass, that wasn't going to happen after the timer kept going off before I could complete a section. If you test well and are prepared to be timed, you'll be fine. I did not receive a call back. It seems like a fun place to work but that test was a deal breaker.

The manager was personable when conducting the interview. There was also an interview with the district manager, which was very exciting for a part time position like this.

I got called to meet for an interview. It went well and they called later that day to schedule the skills test. The test wasn't easy so I was surprised and elated when they called to say I passed. I then scheduled another interview with the District Manager. I had that recently so I'm still waiting for a call.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Wisconsin Rapids, WI (took 3 days)
I applied online when I saw the "Now Hiring" banners on the store's front window. I was contacted that same day to set up an interview time two days later.
When I got there, a lady pulled me behind the shelves and asked me a few simple questions. She was very nice, smiled a lot, and even talked a little with me after the interview.
I was also concerned about working in the "adult room", but the lady said most people don't like to, and I wouldn't have to step foot in there if I didn't want to. It wouldn't affect my chances of being hired.
She told me I would be contacted if I was offered a job. I was never called.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1 week)
Initially was asked to come in for a meet and greet interview which consisted of 10 candidates all applying for the same position. Was asked general questions one by one, why do we want to work for the company, describe yourself in 3 adjectives, why should your resume stand out from the rest. Then got a phone call that night asking to come in for a clerical test. This test was timed and if the pressure is on could seem more difficult than it really is. Need to know basic math, spelling, synonyms, reading comprehension and analysis. Need a 70% to pass. After this the manager did a short interview with me. I got a phone call that night saying I passed and set up the last interview with the Regional.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 weeks)
After applying online, I was so excited because I was called within 24 hours. They set up a time for me to come to the store and get interviewed. The interview was easy, but in the middle of the store isle (weird?) Next they set up a skills test for the next week. The manager told me the best way to describe it was like the ACT and I laughed and said, "yeah right!" It was harder. 9 parts with about 6 to 7 minutes for each section. No calculator! You have a section about synonyms, spelling, alphabetizing, and reading for comprehension. Then it went on to the 5 sections of math. It contained long division, multiplication problems, tough compound and interest story problems, and a Suduko type of problems. Overall I can say that the clerical test kicked my butt and I just graduated high school (passing algebra, algebra 2, geometry, and college algebra) Good Luck!

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 5 days)
There are 3 parts to their interview process. The first was an interview with the store manager, who was unbelievably friendly. The interview was hardly even an interview. We spent most of the time talking about concerts we've been to. She did ask some questions about my past jobs, what I'm going to school for, what I intend to do with that degree, and that's about it. It was probably the least stressful interview I"ve ever had. They told me how important customer service is there, and how she thought I'd be good for it because I was personable. At the end, she told me there was a timed test I would have to take, and I took it right then. It actually seemed kind of tough at the time, but I passed. It covered simple math, spelling, synonyms, alphabetizing, and like reading comprehension. My only problem really was the math because it's been years since I've had it. We then set up a time for me to interview with the District Manager, which I did. He was friendly, but texting on his phone the whole time. That interview covered my major, what I plan to do after, and my past jobs. That's pretty much it. He offered me the job and I took it.
