Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 4 days)
Applied online. Got call from recruiter. Was very friendly. Basic surface level questions. Then asked to come in for panel interview. That was VERY detailed and long. be prepared to explain everything on your resume. they asked questions going back to when i was in high school. Questions like "Give me a time when you failed" were common. Just be prepared and do your homework.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Tampa, FL (took 3 months)
I originally heard about the District Manager position through a headhunter I had worked with previously. I started by doing a telephone interview with the HR department in California. The interviewer was very professional and used behavioral based technique. He then me for an interview with the VP and a drive around with a current DM. I met the DM at a location and talked about the position, he had a video store
Background and I have a restaurant DM background. I met with the VP that would've been my supervisor and after some very surface level questions and about 45 minutes he indicated he liked my background etc. and said I would need to meet with his
Boss in Ft Lauderdale. I flew into ft lauderdale and met with the SR VP for about an hour. Questions were pretty generic, and it seemed to be going well......
Until - I was asked why I was a good fit or candidate for the positon. I replied in a non condescending manner that managing multi unit restaurants with multiple departments perishable products etc. seemed to have more moving parts and that the simple business of renting storage units would be a good opportunity to soar. This seemed to agitate the SRVP to the extent that he went from stating that their business was a simple one to telling me that he disagreed and thought managing the storage units was more challenging and had more moving parts than a restaurant. Keep in mind there are two employees per location and my restaurants have 70-110 staff members per location.
After that interview they took over a week to give me an answer. Very poor process and dragged on for 3 months.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
I applied several time for many different locations and lost hope to get an interview. I finally received a call from a recruiter who did a phone interview the following day after I was contacted. The interview was lengthy, about 1.5 hours but it was very cordial and relaxing. I am still waiting to do a face to face interview but I was told I would be contacted shortly to move through the process.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Very professional. I am still going through the process. I was referred by employee, met his boss and then applied on line. I have spoke to them in the past and did not accept due to salary requirements. I am back in communication with them and will have another interview soon. The people have all been very awesome. Their expectations are clear and concise. The process is above reputable.
