Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
About a week after the resume drop deadline for the on-campus hiring program, I was notified that I had been invited to interview. The hour-long interview process consisted of two separate interviews of equal length and format. The questions were mostly fit or personality questions rather than questions that required technical knowledge or research about the specifics of the company. The tone of the interview was professional but relaxed.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Allen, TX (took 2 days)
It was really easy, applied online and within 2 weeks they contacted me for a group interview. The group interview lasted for about 30-40min. In my opinion they will pretty much hire anyone who was the "Polo Look" tall, good-looking, slim body, and with a good sense of style. But the overall environment is really chill and all the other employees are very friendly and nice.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took 3 weeks)
The interview wasn't bad. They ask general questions like where you've worked before/describe a time you succeeded. There was only one interview, then 3 weeks passed no word, so I assumed I didn't get the job. I got a call finally and they offered me the position. It's not hard to get hired here.....but once hired I got almost no hours, noticed that many employees got preferential treatment and felt judged. I worked mostly by myself with little product/policy knowledge and did not enjoy it so I quit. It may not be like this everywhere, but don't expect a perfect dream job when hired at this company, as they over hire and expect most new employees to quit shortly after being hired.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
Group Interview lasting 3 hours. Mostly giving the group a tour of the store and history of the company. Afterwards, the GM asked everyone random pointed questions about our retail and customer service experience. Overall, I got the impression that it's a great place to work although you have to be aggressive to make commission.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 1 week)
I submitted my application online, after about a week I received a call back. The initial interview was a group one, we were all required to share information about ourselves. After about half an hour of group talks, we were required to take a test, which consisted of filling in bubbles to rate our personalities. That took about 45 minutes. A few days later I received another call back, and that was for orientation.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Sunrise, FL (took a day)
I got called in for an interview with the store manager. She described the company, asked me questions about my application and work history. Very casual. Do dress up, however. Wearing Polo or Ralph Lauren items is not a plus; no one particularly cares as long as you're dressed up.
