Interviewed Aug 2010 in Gilbert, AZ (took 3 days)
They start off with a phone call to see if you will accept the duties of the position. Basically you say "YES" to all questions just to get to the next step. Just the fact that you received a call, says they are interested and will put you on the list to schedule an interview. The interview is called the "Round Robin" for all you call center people, which I have done briefly, but had the invironment, but of course, we all need a job, right?
The questions are basic, why should we hire you? what problems did you solve, how did you do it, and what was the outcome. Pretty basic. Then they ask you for questions which you better have already because this is where it get's strange. The days off, the schedule, your first time duties are all vague. See below
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
They call it a sales position @ 13 per hour, then after training you get 15. Then they hit you with your duties. No commission for 2 months, which after you accept the position, they switch your sales position into a telemarketing job calling old customers with a time frame of 3-6 months. Then and only then, you join the rest of the sales people, and get to possibly make commission based on the usual call center matric nonsense and who takes storage space.
NOTE. Days off are split, new commers WILL WORK NIGHTS TILL 11PM, you will work saturdays, they only pay 3 holidays, and your first 3-6 months will be on a dialler in a different room from the other morons that took that sad position.
My advice?
DONT DO IT UNLESS YOU ARE DESPERATE, THEN KEEP LOOKING FOR A "REAL" SALES POSITION.

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took a day)
After initial phone call to set up appointment, met with district manager onsite. We toured the facility and then sat down and had a question and answer type meeting. The district manager was new to the industry and was asking me questions regarding how he should do his job.

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.

Had initial phone interview. Basic questions concerning work experience and description of job duties.
Interviewer was friendly and outgoing. Fely comfortable but was still nervous that showed in answers. First interview in 20 years.
