Interviewed Dec 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
The interview process was very straight forward and to the point. I applied online on a Thursday and the following Monday I received a phone call. By the following Thursday I had an interview. It was very thorough and in depth. I was asked a lot of questions that pertained to my leadership abilities and my previous management experience. It was a great Q&A. I was given the chance to ask many questions and the freedom to open the table up for dialogue.

Negotiation Details
There really wasn't much negotiation because the offer was pretty great. The only thing I didn't realize was how sucky the benefits package was. If it had been presented I definitely would have negotiated those terms.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New Port Richey, FL (took 2 days)
I had applied wit the company prior and was contacted by a recruiter, but unfortunately it was by email so I missed the interview. I tried again because they had another position opening up and I made the initiative to contact the location that was hiring and was informed that it goes straight through corporate (on to a recruiter). I waited the length of time that it took to make contact with the recruiter (1 week) and set up a face to face interview. I thought the interview on the phone went great, but was really disappointed at the 1 on 1 interview. I have piercings and wear them, the only time I take them off is for interviews and while I am on the clock at work. The lady kept asking me about my one lip ring and kept mentioning a background check as if I was some punk kid who hadn't had a job before or worked with the public. She never asked me where I would go with the company had an offer been extended, nor how I could benefit the company.
I felt as if I was being judged completely based on my looks and not my competency which is honestly a first! I felt as if she didn't care to interview me and that she was only trying to fill a quota. I had a bad experience and may never waste my time applying for this company again.
I got called back for a store walk-through (which shocked me) and I thought 'okay maybe I will get it' it's not as if ANY of the work I would be doing, I hadn't done before. I have worked at restaurants and a small convenience store before so I was completely able to do the jobs entailed. I didn't get a call back and before we left she mentioned a background check again and only looked at me!!! Seriously?!!! If a company needs a snooty little recruiter like that, I NEVER want to work there, nor shop there again. Will definitely never recommend this place for anything!

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 days)
Tell me about your duties at your last job?
Do you have experience handling P & L's?
Position seemed like it had nowhere to go. You are basically a sales consultant that doesn't work on any sort of commission or bonus. Base pay seemed fair for what they were asking of you.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
The interview process was thorough and efficient. All prospects are escorted into a meeting room and given an application to fill out while a informational video is displayed and repeated telling you of the great benefits of a career with the company. Applicants are escorted by an HR rep to an office for a one on one interview in the order at which they arrived/signed in. The interview process consisted of a lot of Q&A concerning your experience in related fields. There were some hypothetical questions thrown in for gauging your abilities in specific situations. You are given ample opportunity to ask any and all questions you may have about the company. Once the initial interview is completed a secondary interview is conducted at which time you are offered a position and salary. You will be given time if needed to discuss the offer and respond in a reasonable amount of time. Over all it was professional and painless.

Negotiation Details
The store positions are a set salary. Your salary will vary in the form of bonuses taken from the store locations net profits. This can be an excellent bonus opportunity if your in a high volume location. As a swing manager my salary plus bonus netted me a paycheck equal to and often greater than assistant managers in lower volume stores. This posed a real problem when it was time for a promotion as I could not afford the pay cut. Try to stay off of night shift. If you excel in the overnight position it will be difficult to obtain a position to day shift as the night time employees are very inconsistent and have a higher than avg turnover. You can move up quickly if you work consistently and reliably. All expectations are set for you in a clear and concise manner so there is little guess work.

I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Presentation, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Inverness, FL (took 1 week)
I applied online and about a week later, early in the morning, I got a call for an interview the same day. I went in early and had to wait a little while after our agreed upon time, and then the interview took place. The majority of the interview was the interviewer and myself walking around the store while he explained what I'd be doing if I was hired. At the end he asked me some basic questions about myself and told me that if he decided to hire me, he'd call by 5:00 the next day. (tomorrow)

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
Sent resume to hiring manager, phone screen, interview with hiring manager and then introduced to potential colleagues, interviewed with VP and Controller. Simple interview process... no behavior based questions or big assessments. Very laid back which aligns with their culture. Everyone was really nice and it seems like a fun place.

Reason for Declining
Got better offer from another company in terms of compensation, opportunity and benefits. Felt the culture was a little too casual.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
HR behavioral interview. Asked questions about experience and resume. She was nice but did not return my phone call when I asked for feedback on why I did not get the offer. I think it was because of pay, they were offering $10K below average and what I was expecting.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 2 days)
There was only one interview that I had to attend. He talked most of the time explaining my duties as a cashier around the store. Then we went in the back and he asked me a few questions about previous jobs. He asked me where did I see myself in 5 years and about any displays I set up. They called me the next day and offered me a contingent job offer and I accepted. The people in there were very friendly the cashiers didn't seem to interact with th guest that much and the environment was pretty decent too.
