Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 days)
Are you willing to travel 7 days per week? Can you sell? Will you go to training? They are looking for people that are hungry and think there is an opportunity to make BIG money in commission sales. They will train you / indoctrinate you into the Olan Mills sales model and will require a certain sales quota -- this is not for you, but directly affects your regional manager's income. Weekly you will be pounded on to make that quota -- again know this is for your management's pocket.

Negotiation Details
No ability to negotiate. It is draw against commission (that is retro active) so you will likely make $8 per hour.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
The interview was great. The district manager was at the studio and had me fill out the application. He asked about previous work experience and basic things like that. He called me about a week or so later and told me about the photographer floater position and how much I would get paid for that. He told me about the travel compensation. I thought about it for a day or two and called him back to accept.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Temple City, CA (took 3 days)
Received a call regarding the resume I submitted. The person calling had just a few questions for me to answer. 1) Would I be able to follow the Olan Mills dress code (no visible tattoo's, no hair color that is not natural, no heals, only black pants and business casual tops)? 2) Would I be available full time? 3) How many miles was I willing to commute? 4) Could I go to the studio for an interview the following day?
Once at the studio interview, I was asked if I had previous photography experience and what type. I was asked if I would be able to work full time and would I be interested in overtime? I was also asked how soon I would be able to start. I was contacted the following business day by the person I first spoke with and was offered the position and asked to begin work the following day. This person reminded me of the dress code, and told me my hourly pay rate. She then concluded the call by stressing that I not discuss my pay with anyone.

Negotiation Details
They were not open to negotiation, it was take it or leave it. I did feel that the person making the offer bent the truth to make the job sound more appealing. Once hired on, I learned that a number of the benefits had strings attached and I would not qualify for them. My suggestion is to ask lots of questions and get things in writing if possible.
