Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 6 weeks)
It was pretty straight forward all of the steps to make it to the next phase of the process. Phone screening, on line test. Then a one on one interview. I find this step is to see your appearnce, how you handle yourself. At this point they will either do the background check to see if they want to proceed in the process. Then I had a round table interview. A week later a tentative offer was made based on the drug screen. I waited the pro and cons and remained in my current position.

Reason for Declining
Really it was a smaller retailer, and I felt I would get board after doing visual merchandising. I am really my own boss, have a lot of autonomy.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Cabazon, CA (took a day)
The interview was a more casual one on one conversation, the manager asked me about my experience. He also asked me if I had any leadership experience. There were a few scenario type questions. My first impression of the store was great, the staff was and still is very professional.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
Group interview of about three or four other people. Went into store announced my arrival and waited. Manager asked for me to wait for the rest of the interviewee's to come and to have a look around the store and get a feel for it. Followed to the back and had an easy going interview. All asked same basic questions but we were asked in different orders [ex. I didnt always get to answer first]
Finally the manager who was very kind invited us back on the following sunday for a one hour test run. [I was the only one who stayed after sunday] -The other two applicants were transfered to another sister store.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Jonesville, NC (took 1+ week)
Excellent interview process. The interviewers were professional, polite, courteous, patient, and clear in their expectations of my performance during the interview process. I did not feel out of place or uncomfortable during the process even though the length of interviews extended beyond what one would expect of a one-on-one. That said, the tone of the interviews left me truly confident but still uncertain of the outcome; a sign that they really knew what they were doing.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 3 days)
I applied to the store and was called in to an interview the next day. The types of interview questions were very basic and purposely led you to demonstrate a strong sense of customer service. I believe there were about 8-10 questions, and the hiring manager has to write down your answers, so if you do poorly at making eye contact, it's not a problem. Overall, a very easy interview. I was called back a couple of days later and given an offer.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in Memphis, TN (took 1 week)
The phone interview was with a District Manager which was a very short assessment of my previous experience and skills. About 3 days later I was called in for an interview with the Store Manager. The in-person interview lasted about 30 minutes and was mostly situational and behavioral type questions. The "Name a time when you had to...". Around 2 days after that interview I was called to take a drug test and sign a consent for a backround check. Then 2 days later I was offered a job by phone.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in New York, NY (took 3 months)
I applied online for a job. I received a phone call from the recruiter about an interview. I had 2 phone interviews, and a skype interview because I am not from/was not in New York. Then I waited a few weeks and was called with an offer.
The people were super friendly but the atmosphere is very corporate-like.
