Interviewed Sep 2011 in Arlington, VA (took 4 months)
The place to work is great as I have heard from my friends. But, the management is disorganised. They kept pushing me around until I gave up. The managers were very confused. Finally, I didn't know what to do. When I went back to the store, a supervisor told me that the store manager is on vacation and they have no idea when he'll return. Everyone else including the associates were very helkpful. It was only the people on the higher level who messed everything up.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Hampstead, NC (took a day)
The hiring process was simple. I applied on the company website and completed a 60 question survey. The manager called me the next day to set up and interview. I attended the interview wearing a shirt, tie, and Khaki pants. The interview took approximately 20 minutes. I gave permission for a background check. About 2 days later they manager called and said I passed the background check and i came in and submitted a drug test (swap in the mouth). Waited a few days until the results came back and the manager called me and scheduled a time for me to complete the new hire paper work, gave me a schedule and I started working the next day.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Greensboro, NC (took 5 days)
I applied and called about two days later to make sure the hiring manager saw my application and to let him know that I was still interested in the job. He viewed my application that day and called me the next day to offer me an interview. I came and spoke to him he asked me basic questions about my previous jobs and why I likes working in a customer service environment. Then he told me that a background check would be done and if everything turned out fine I would be called again to go take my drug test. I was called and did take my drug test at Labcorp. It took about a week for Harris Teeter to receive those results and when they did I was called in to begin my paid online training. This took about 3 days due to my school schedule and then I was working the cash register :)

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Alexandria, VA (took a day)
The interview process was pretty simple in my opinion. The woman took me into an office and asked me a few questions. She asked things like "What is good customer service to you?" and she also gave me a few scenarios and asked what I would do in those situations. Then she asked if I would be willing to do a drug test.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Ashburn, VA (took 5 days)
I applied online. I went into the store and spoke with a manager to set up an interview. The main question they asked was why you want to work at the store. They will try to convince you to open your availability as much as possible, but if you have certain hours that you want to work then be firm. Just be friendly and show them that you can follow the rules (though some seem unnecessary at times) and you will be fine.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Greensboro, NC (took 3 days)
I walked in and handed in my application to be a Cake Decorator to the CSM, and a few days later I got a phone call to come in for an interview. I had prepped for the interview and was ready with great answers about how customer service is my specialty, why I'm great at what I do, blah blah... well, I was blindsided with questions in the opposite direction: "Tell me about a time you couldn't satisfy a customer." "How would you deal with difficult customers?" After stumbling through the interview, he said with a sigh that they were hiring for cashiers, uscan cashiers, particularly ones who could work 3rd shift. They were flexible with my hours and hired me even though I was 5 months pregnant at the time! I thought that was an admirable thing to do- because after 3 months, I'd be out for at least that long, then who knows if I would have come back! This guy (my boss) ended up being a really nice guy who was very accomodating. Unfortunately talent gets moved around a lot, so I soon had a nw CSM who wasn't so great.
Interview was followed by a drug test and background check, totalling about a week to 10 days. Then I reported to work for computer training. Maybe 4 four hour days taking computer modlues and exams? Then I got to go to the floor to be trained properly.

Negotiation Details
I was young and dumb. I put $8-12 on my application, and he offered $8, and I took it. I needed a job immediately, but I should have negotiated wages more agressively.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Holly Springs, NC (took 3 weeks)
First they introduced my to a manager that had a grasp of the human language,and moral fiber.
after they snookered enough folks in to actually run the store "properly staffed" they started funneling in ever mothers,uncle's halfbrained road kill drop outs unwed sister's pet snake in.
Then they dropped or kicked out (most walked out) anyone who knew the true value of customer relations.
