Interviewed May 2011 (took 5 days)
I applied on the company's website. About a month later I received a phone call from the DM and had a quick phone interview. Then met with the Store Manager for an interview at the store. A couple days later I had a one on one interview with the DM. He offered me the job. I accepted and had to do a drug test and allow a background check. Those took about 3 days. Then I went in to complete video training, which lasted 2 days.

I did negotiate my pay, but only got 50¢ extra. I'd say start high because they will counter it

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Went in for an Assistant manager position. Talked to the store manager first and then the DM just so happened to be there and he hired me on the spot (he cared more about checking out my butt than anything else). That day he ran a background check and had me do a drug test.
Negotiation Details
Did not negotiate. I went in as an assistant and 2 weeks later was offered a store management position making 30,000
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 6 months)
I applied online and was contacted by a member of the recruiting staff. We had an over the phone interview immediately. They set up an interview with three other people for a few months later. I was then sent to a district to run it for six months, temporarily. After six months they then sent me for another interview with myself and two other people. I received the offer within the week.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
One sided. I was offered a salary, then I counteroffered with another. I received one other offer and was not given another opportunity to negotiate. I was to accept or not get it. My advice to others would be to submit an offer to them, but be ready to accept or decline quickly.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 3 days)
Applied online (come to find out, they never take the application down even if they haven't hired in months). I quit my previous job and the next day applied here. Got a call the next day for an interview. I went in and the manager was very impressed with my resume and assessment, it almost felt like I was interviewing him. He asked a few mandatory questions and we talked for a few minutes. He offered me a job on the spot. I came in the next day to get my drug test papers and they were out. I came in again and got the papers, passed the test and got a call to start training. There are tons of little things to learn during training but if you have a decent manager, they are happy (or at least understanding) to take your calls every hour for a few days. I've seen a lot of people come and go and managers rarely interview more than one person, so if you get the interview, you probably got the job.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
No negotiations. I was ripped off when he told me what I would start at. I think he was trying to impress someone by saving money but after my first check, I was raised a little bit. Then again after the second check.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Dallas, TX (took a day)
The interview process is extremely long and boring. They make you apply online and take a pointless quiz which easily takes up to two hours. The first steep is a phone interview, the next steep is a video interview on the computer, and then finally the real interview. During my real interview the guys were constantly checking the blackberries while I was talking it was very rude.

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Personality Test.
