Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 1 week)
I have extensive insurance background, clearly outlined on my resume. I applied online. I was sent an hour long skills (math and problem solving) and personality test. I received a call within a day from an HR representative who told me I had done well on the test and scheduled a time for a recruiter to call me. The recruiter who called me sounded like a very young man, very abrupt with his questions, but the questions were not difficult. Then, very suddenly, he asked me what I was doing in the 1980's? I said, "excuse me?" and he repeated the question. I responded that I had been in school (no details as I was waiting to see where he was going with this). He very abruptly ended the interview and said someone would be calling me back, but of course, there was no call. Very clearly he was trying to determine my age without asking me outright which he obviously knew is illegal. I have worked in insurance for years and interviewed, hired, and occasionally had to fire personnel. Most resumes I reviewed go back five to ten years or more to whenever the person started in the industry or related field. I have never, ever, thought about trying to determine the age of an applicant as it is illegal. In fact, I was always impressed with someone who had experience. I am not a senior citizen, I simply started my career straight out of high school while attending college at night. Clearly this recruiter was age profiling, and regardless of whether the recruiter thought to do it on his own, or the company knows about it, it was very obvious. Very unprofessional overall.

I am still in the process of interviewing, Phone interview discussed potential income and training program. All my questions. The online test too aprox an hour. It was divided into 4 sections starting with Math, the Math was pretty hard. The rest was mostly questons about your personality.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I initially interviewed for the Sales Intern position but after they made me go through the whole process they told me I couldn't have it because i was graduating in less then 2 months. Then they told me they were going to offer me a Full time Sales Rep. position. Both the HR person and the Manager of the office told me I had the position. Then a day later I got an email from HR saying they are sorry but I did not interview with the Regional manager so they cannot offer the position until they finish interviews with other candidates with a sales background. Then about 50 hours later I got an automated message saying they went with someone else. Crazy.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
We mostly talked about my past experience off of my Resume. Mostly about the related experience in sales and what I did for each company and what the company was like. Also brought up one of my leadership experiences that was very randomly placed on my resume. He was kind of all over the place for that matter, asking me what I did two summers ago instead of the last. We agreed I probably would not be a great fit for the position since I wasnt from around the area and he wanted people who already have established networks there. Said he would help me out for a position in a branch closer to me though.

I had a phone interview with a HR rep, we discussed my resume etc. Interviewed in person w/ 2 supervisors and a team lead, sat with a team lead to job shadow. They asked questions like " what is the sales cycle", "what is your sales style?" etc. They conduct a background check before making an offer. No drug test.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Baltimore, MD (took 2 weeks)
Very simple hiring process. I actually went through 2 phone interviews (about a day apart). Then I was scheduled for an interview with the hiring manager the following week. The interview went very well and from there I was set up with an interview with the area manager.
After interviewing with the area manager, I took a series of math and personality test and Liberty proceeded with a background check. An offer was received and accepted the following week.
As with any interview I'd recommend a high level of preparedness. Have an understanding of their business model and what makes the company float so you can show how your past experience can contribute to the team.
The people in the office are very receptive and everyone is very willing to help you get up to speed. If you need assistance just ask. It's probably one of the best working cultures I've experienced.

Negotiation Details
The negotiating window is small. Especially since the salary is preset and temporary. You can obtain a few extra thousand on your training salary, but it only last for 12-16 weeks anyway (kinda pointless).

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 weeks)
As others stated, there was a initial IQ test then phone interview. After these took place I was recommended for face interview. I called to set this up as I didn't want to wait for them to call me. After the first interview (about an 1.5 long), I followed up the next day in hopes of a second interview. I got the second interview. After a job sampling I spoke w/ the interviewer further. I closed the sale/interview in hopes of an offer. Success!
