Interviewed Jan 2012 in Toledo, OH (took a day)
Applied for a few jobs online in December, one day at 2:00 pm got an email to select interview times; checked email at 5:15 (because I was working); interview times gone; sent email, and they sent an email back saying more interview times will come in the next few weeks. Job fair opened up, and they sent an email to go to the job fair. Don't waste your time. Job fair from 3 - 6; got there 3:15, waited in line, standing, for 4 hours--all for a group interview with 2 questions--provide an example where you provided excellent customer service, and what is something unusual about yourself. 25 people in the group--basically a one or two minute interview. They said this was the final interview--if you applied for multiple jobs, this interview would suffice. They would get back to you. Got email this morning saying I wasn't selected for any job. Nothing makes me angrier than someone wasting my time. I feel they were just going through the motions--that they really didn't have jobs available, or the jobs were already taken. Nobody can judge you for a job in one minute; interview was a farce. Don't go to Bowling Green or Owens job fairs, waste of time.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Toledo, OH (took 4 days)
I'm still in the process, but wanted to write on here just in case anyone wanted to know what it's like....
After submitting my application on the website I was directed to take a quick personality type exam. It was 60 some questions if I recall. Two days later I received an email that said I needed to schedule an interview. I logged on to their website and they had many different options. This was going to be a group interview.
There were about 25 of us in the group interview. Very diverse! We all stood up and gave our name, something unique about ourselves, one instance where we enhanced customer experience and whether we wanted FT or PT. After that we were given a simple math test. Now when I say simple, I mean simple! Addition, Subtraction and Division. You have 5 minutes to answer as many as you can. After you completed the exam you were taken to the other side of the office and they take you back one by one.
When I was called back we sat down and did the typical "Why do you want to work here?" "What makes you a good employee?" "In 2 minutes or less why should we hire you?"
***They are looking for your personality. The are not interested (this step) in your skills/exp. You need to be able to work a table and have a complete stranger come up to you and you seem like their best friend***
After the little 1 on 1 I was told I will hear something within 24 to 48 hours.
So......that was this morning....and I am waiting.....
...more to come

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 2 days)
The first contact was made via phone call and the call lasted about an hour. The material that was discussed concerned skills, experience (examples sited), and team orientation. The phone interview went well proven by the quickly scheduled group interview 2 days later. The group interview was conducted by 2 VP's and similar topics were discussed in line with those discussed via the phone interview mentioned earlier. Detailed questions were answered for me to provide enough backround to make a decision if an offer was to be made. About a half hour later, they called and presented an offer that was at the high end of my specified range.
