Interviewed Jun 2008 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 weeks)
I was invited to visit the property and I met with one of the Property Management Teams. I toured the property and 2 weeks later I got the call. I then went back and met with my boss (Regional Operations Manager) and was made an offer.

Interviewed May 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took a day)
first a phone call, initial screening. then a second phone interview. then a drive to a location 500 miles away (paid) then an initial interview, and finally an interview with a recruiter and a senior manager. You were "sold" the job if they liked you, no room for negotiation, the salary was set, and no choice of where you would train or even work in the entire country

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
First telephone interview with a recruiter was very positive. The pay and benefits sounded too good to be true so we did some research and found that the majority of the reviews from past/present employees were very negative. We decided to ask about it at the interview. We arrived about 20 minutes early and the interviewer arrived about 10 mins. late. She was very nice and answered our questions sort of. She explained that most of the complaints were because the job wasn't what people expected. That would seem reasonable if there were only a few complaints but there are so many and with the good pay and benefits why are there so many openings. If the job wasn't what people expected why don't they explain it better before they hire someone? We came out of the interview feeling pretty good although we weren't 100% convinced we had been given the whole truth about the job description. Our interview was on a Tuesday and she said she would call us on Friday. That was 4 weeks ago - still no call. We are happy now that we haven't gotten a call because we probably would have taken the job if it was offered.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 6 days)
met with recruiter lots of information given to us regarding company and position of co-manager, we felt properly informed. Took about 1 1/2 hours felt good and honest, backgrounds exchanged and reality of job was discussed. After meeting with recruiter we met with gentleman who would be our Regional Manager, great guy, hit it off immediately. Made us feel very comfortable and thought it was a good fit and a good move for us as jobs are few are far between for very talented 50 plus educated people. We hoped we'd hear back with an offer

Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation, we took what was offered as far as money, our Reg. Mgr asked us to take a far away location from where we were hoping but we've moved around a lot in our lives and we were up for the challenge. our RM made us feel good about it and that we were doing a favor for him. We were honest and he was also.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 8 weeks)
We submitted our resumes in the evening and at the end of the following day had an email response requesting we fill out a questionnaire and return it to the recruiter. The following week we had phone interview with the initial recruiter. After being told everything was on hold for the Holidays, the next day we received a call asking if we could attend a face-to-face interview the following day in another state. We did. We both liked what was shared with us and had our questions at that point answered sufficiently. Then everything was on hold for the Holiday season because of vacations. We then had two more phone interviews with a Community Manager (for his RD) and then a Regional Director. After several weeks, calls, and some confusion. We accepted a verbal offer understanding that it will be three to five weeks until a training assignment. We understand that it is a position of mostly sales and marketing and striking a balance with management of staff and facility.
Having read many reviews, most negative so far, I'm a bit concerned, but hopeful. We worked in a similar situation (as described in reviews) and were able to navigate our way through sufficiently.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Holiday moved very quickly. You will have a phone interview either with a Recruiter or the Regional Sales Leader (RSL). Then you have a face-to-face with the RSL and possibly the Regional Director (RD). After this, if you receive a call from the District Sales Leader (DSL)..then you know you have the job. Whatever they offer is what you got. It is non-negotiable so don't bother trying to get more. The position is Salary plus commission plus solid benefits. After you accept, you are scheduled to fly out to training at one of three tranining centers for around 10 days. The interview is fairly easy...it's not about what you say..but about how you say. They look for a specific personality type. They want to see if you fit in with the company culture and the position. Your past experiences are not really relevant for this position. Like I said- it's about your personality. It's sales after all.
