Interviewed Jun 2010 in Norcross, GA (took 3 weeks)
I applied online and after about a week received a call to set up a phone screen. The same HR rep from corporate called back later and conducted the phone screen...."Why are you leaving current job?" "What relevant experience?" "How often is it ok to call in sick?" etc.
Then I received a call several days later for a face to face with the asst mgr. This consisted of him asking the same questions and filling in answers on a form as well as some basic question and answer.
He said the mgr would review and call people back in the next week.
Got a call the next week and set up interview for the following morning. Talked with the manager a little about background and experience went over my resume then took a tour of the warehouse and he explained the job. At this point the interview was more of an attempt to get me to loosen up a little I think and see how I would fit in. We talked a little and I was feeling nervous but asking questions and trying to picture how the job would work. Eventually he said that he had one more interview and that I would probably get a call the next day to finish up.
Haven't heard from them since then.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 1 week)
Was originally called regarding position applied for on Careerbuilder.com. Phone interview went fine and was told to come in for face to face interview with multiple people and that the interview process would take about 3 hours. Showed up for interview dressed professionally. Interviewers were dressed in jeans, but did make mention that it was casual day at their offices. Building was nice and seemed professional. Interviewed by 2 girls, names withheld, however I can say 1 was the pne I expected to meet with, the other was there as observer. Interview with them only lasted about 45 minutes. One thing that stuck out as a weird point was when I referred to the companies patrons as "clients" and I was told abruptly that they didn't have "clients" just "customers". Other than the fact that "clients" and "customers" is pretty much interchangeable, it sounds more formal. Since this position was in Marketing, the idea of thinking of "customers" as "clients" is a good framework to anticipating repeat business and building "customer" loyalty. Either way, though, why bother mentioning anything? Shortly after this, the lead interviewer awkwardly said that her and her observer were going to go talk out in the hall for a minute and then find the other manager I was to interview with. The observer came back a couple minutes later and said they couldn't find the manager and that they were just going to end the interview there. I never received an offer or rejection, but could feel that rejection was the decision. Whether I was over-qulaified, under-qualified, or just not a good match, a decision letter or even email would've been appropriate. I found the interviewer to be unprofessional because of this. Also, I am a volunteer firefighter and felt like that was another factor influencing the rejection. Way to support your local community girls. I was asked, "if a job paying $100K came along in firefighting, would I take it?". If a job came along where you got paid $100K to sit around eating cookies all day would you take that? Not a realistic question for a $35K a year job.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
Cool and distant. Almost like they just wanted to talk about the bad parts of the company and screen people out. Very negative. I didn't even send a thank you to the recruiter.

Intially were interested in my background management skills had I fired anyone or made corrective actions
Gave brief overview of the position and number of prospects they had received
