You interview with the a recruiter first over the phone. Then you have a 1:1 interview with the DM. Then you have a phone interview with Zone HR and then the final interview is a phone interview with Zone VP. You will get a lot of behavioral questions. All questions start with "tell me about a time when.........and how did you handle it?"
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They lowball the first offer. Always negotiate the salary and don't be afraid to ask what you are really worth.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
District HR called to set up the phone interview. She was very polite and friendly. She asked about the current volume the store I worked for did, what were my greatest strengths and weaknesses, why I was interested in leaving the company, what was I looking for in a new company, what did I know about them, had I shopped there before, and then asked me what questions I had. The hardest question is always what is your greatest weakness. When we talked money, it was obvious that I made far too much in salary to be considered.
