Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
I applied online and received an e-mail a few weeks later detailing that I would be contacted by the HR dept. I called the number provided in the e-mail answered some automated questions and was transfered to a person who asked a couple of customer service related questions: "How have you provided excellent customer service in the past?, What can you offer Home Depot?" etc. After conducting the phone interview I was told that they would like to set up a 1:1 interview, they didn't have any times available but I received an automated phone call about 30 minutes with times I could schedule an interview. Currently I am waiting to have my face-to-face interview.

The pay increased it received was only .50 per hour to move up. It should have been $1.00, but he told me that my current hourly rate was already very high. Silly me, I accepted. It's not work the measly .50 per hour to go thru the headaches I do every day. Mainly because of my Store Manager.

I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 5 days)
The interviewing process was slightly annoying being that you have to take a pre-screening phone interview that just reviews everything you put on your application. Once you make it to the one on one it is very relaxed and easy. It mainly consists of talking about your history in retail and what hours you would like to work.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and got an automated call the next day arranging a phone interview for 2 days later. The Assistant manager called me three days later and set up a drug screen for that day. I waited 7 days to get the results back and then was called in for a 1 on 1 interview with the Manager. He asked me about my customer service experience and offered me the job.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
Initial interivew was via phone with a lower level manager. They asked basic questions and explained the position. In person interview was rescheduled twice. Overall the compensation was decent but as many explain, it appears they place high demands on their people and may not consider a work like balance. Just my opinion.
