Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 1 week)
I applied online, and then called. The guy said my best bet would be to fill out an application in person as well, because that would get reviewed quicker. The next day I got called by an asst. manager to come in and take a personality test (the same day.) I did, and she informed me that if I passed the test, the manager would call me for an interview. The next day he did. A few days later I went in for the interview. Very informal, he mostly gave me info about the company, and how he runs the store. He asked me a few things about my previous jobs, and why I wanted to work there. Two days later he called me in to get drug test papers, and then I got the job :)

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took a day)
I went in and filled out an application on a computer they had in the store. I received a call the next day, and had a 1:1 interview with the store manager that week. I was offered a job the day after my interview. The in store environment wasn't very friendly, and the manager I met with wasn't very outgoing either.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Norcross, GA (took 6 weeks)
The interview was a phone interview with the Office Depot hiring manager, then with a company called Apexx which was a role play, then a skills test, and the final interview was a panel interview with the District Sales Manager, HR and the Regional Sales Manager. This job was told it was going to be one thing, but then we were told we were going to be hourly employees.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation. It is what it is, and we have to do what we do. WE were told by HR if we did not like the job or if it was not a good fit then quit and become a customer. this was on the 2nd week of the job.

Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The company seem overly anxious and unprepared. They had specific skill sets in mind and duties required. The request of specific duties were in keeping with the position. The chain of command and advancement opportunity also seem to be fair and within line of normal expectations. However when they moved to benefits and salary - the total compensation was far less than I received as a general manager and not nearly in keeping with other district positions I have held.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The offer from the company and the benefits were about 12-15k less than normal expectations.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.
