Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 days)
My first interview was a phone interview and that was very nice it went very smooth the person doing the interview was a recruiter from another company and she was very friendly. After the phone interview I met with the regional manager and that interview also went smooth more like a conversation. I would reccomend that they dont hype you up into thinking that you have the job when you dont .

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
I was initially contacted by an outside staffing agency who arranged for the first interview. The first interview was conducted in the corporate office with a recruiter who asked me about the jobs on my resume, past experience, etc. I also had to take a written test with math questions and a personality section. After about a week of waiting, I called the recruiter who said that my test scores came back and were great. They then scheduled a second interview during which I met with the sales manager and the human resources manager in a conference room. It was a much more serious interview with questions about my specific responsibilities in the past, why I am interested in this position and how I would respond to customers in given situations. Then, 48 hours later I was called back for a final (3rd) interview with the regional sales manager who asked me to not only talk about past success, but also past failures. He asked about times when I had to deal with an unhappy customer, and much of the interview was focused on finding out what my long term goals and customer service approaches are. He then offered me the position. I later learned that there were a lot of candidates (upward of 50) who were interviewing for the same position. I think of those, less than 10% were hired. The most difficult part of the interview process was waiting between interviews for a call back and not really knowing where you stood.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Lancaster, CA (took 2 months)
Received a call from recruiter took test IQ test and math test. Interviewed with Sales Manager interview went well so passed on the VP Sales. VP Sales not really a people person didn't ask any questions. I received a call about a week later telling me they were going to pass on me for the position. I guess the VP had the final say so on who he wanted. I had 15 years in this position and several sales awards. I am not sure why he did not like me. Maybe you will have better luck.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Denver, CO (took 2 days)
First interview was in hotel at hiring conference set up thru recruiter. The interview seemed very informal--more than my other interviews that day. This put me at ease and made the interview go more smoothly. Questions consisted mainly of behavioral questions and questions designed to gauge my interest in the position.
