Interviewed Jan 2012 in Grapevine, TX (took 3 days)
I applied online, and got a phone call 2 days later. I set up an interview. I met with the HR manager, and a team leader of some sort. They were friendly and didn't make me feel uncomfortable. After that interview I had to take a series of tests, which included an IQ/Intelligence test, a mechanical reasoning test and a personality assessment. I was told they would get back to me in a week, but they phoned me the very next day to offer me the job. I went up there the next day to discuss my job offer. I was told what the pay and benefits would be, and I was given information about taking the drug test, and permission for a background check.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process with the San Antonio Harland Clarke office was great. I originally submitted my resume through The University of Texas at San Antonio and was called back within the week. After accepting an offer to interview, I was brought back for a second interview. During the second interview, I spoke to the various leadership in the office I applied to. Everyone treated me great and have continued to be supportive of my class schedule and responsibilities as a student.
The work culture, at least in my office, is great. Everyone is friendly, helpful and works to support the success of the group.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 days)
World Class company, world class interview process. Initially passed a phone screening, then was offered an onsite interview. We mainly discussed the leadership positions I've held in the past and the nature of the work of the position. The initial panel interview takes about 3 hours, then you break for lunch, and then a 3 hour personality/intelligence test ensues. The company is not great about contacting you regarding the status of your application, although this may have been because I was not selected.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in San Antonio, TX (took 2 weeks)
Probably one of the strangest interviews I have ever had. First let me say that in my 20 year career, I have had 4 job changes and no more than 2 interviews for each position before I had an offer. My point is that I interview really well and have a typical corporate image.
So, I interview with the corporate VP of FP&A and he informed me that he had 5 minutes and that I was lucky because most people do not get to see him for that long because he is a very busy person. After a few minutes of chit chat, he tells me that he is the "Alpha Dog" and how would I feel about that. He explained how he ran things and that although "I could do doubt do the job" that I would have to work for him. I explained that I got over titles, etc. a long time ago and was just looking for an opportunity to join and grow with a large company in San Antonio. He then asked where I lived and after I told him he commented, " well, you must have made some money somewhere!"
Needless to say, I did not get an offer...lol.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in San Antonio, TX (took 2 days)
I went to a job fair - waited about 2 hours then was called for a mini interview - just to weed me out - asked me questions about my previous employment to see if I had customer service experience. Then was asked to wait again to take a series of 4 tests on the computer -such as personality-customer service skills. I was then asked to come back the following day for another interview. The next day I was interviewed by 2 people - 1 from HR and 1 team leader. They seemed okay- very young-and very structured in their questions. They gave me the impression they were seeking a certain type of person - someone who had previously worked in a call center environment. They did not feel I would adjust to the environment after my last job. So, I would suggest if you do not have call center experience don't waste your time.
