Interviewed May 2011 in La Porte, IN (took a day)
The interview was pretty relaxed, it's obvious that they were looking for people who will work any hour during any day. They explained about a multi-interview process with the store manager and about pay.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I was interviewed by the hiring manager, who just asked about my availability and what hours I'd be willing to work. She scheduled a second interview the following week and I was interviewed by the head manager. After I was told I got a job offer, but would have to take a drug test, sign papers and I'd get a call to continue to the next step. Which is orientation. I got a call back after three weeks and was ask to come in the next day. Its overall an easy interview, just be yourself and answer their questions as best as you can. Good Luck!

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 5 days)
The interview was relatively simple and easy. Consisted of about three questions and the rest being about the job itself. They called back within a few days and scheduled a background check which only took one day.

The manager was fair, I started my wage negotiation at a little above the previous job holders, and worked down to an acceptable wage given that I had little experience in the field.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I filled out an application online and was directed to page that let me schedule an interview. I scheduled an interview and two weeks later I went to the HR office to be interviewed. The interview lasted about ten minutes, the interviewer hired me on the spot. All she asked was about my last job and how I would deal with a difficult customer. I start working next week!

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
I filled out an application online and took the online assessment test. After passing the test I was able to schedule an interview for the following week. I interviewed with the store's LPM. Very casual interview. He asked me a few questions about my work history and availability. The interview lasted about an hour, with most of the time spent listening to him discuss the job duties and expectations. I didn't have to answer any "typical" interview questions. Interviewed on a Friday morning and was told to expect to hear back on the following Monday. I actually got a call a couple of hours later offering me the position, contingent upon successful completion of a drug test. A very quick, easy interview process.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
The Interview went very well. The HR Manager was very polite and pleasant, unlike some interviews I have had. After the interview I felt good. I originally applied for a cashier position, but -then after talking about some of my work experiences, I was offered a supervisory position, and love every minute of it!

Interviewed May 2010 in Philadelphia, PA (took a day)
Easy interview, management was very nice. They basically asked me questions about myself such as college ,and previous job information. I got hired on the spot, and it took about a week to get trained. The training was paid, so that was a plus. The only downside was that I watched a bunch of videos, and shadowed a person at the register for about a couple of hours before the put me on. But it's pretty easy overall.
