Interviewed Nov 2011 in Sanford, FL (took 2 weeks)
I had an interview with the asst manager and HR and both went well. After two weeks, I just received my background check in the mail. I don't have any criminal charges but I did get a ticket for unlawful speeding and no valid drivers license [I didn't know my license were suspended] and this appeared on my background check. Do you think my chances hindered because of this? I mean, I never been to jail for anything and this happened like 2 years ago.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 days)
Very soon after applying to Ross, I was called on the phone for a quick interview. At the end of the interview, I was asked to come in the next day for a one-on-one interview with the manager. During that face-to-face interview, the manager was impressed by my educational background and offered me a job in the cash office contingent on my background check. I was told that they would not have normally hired me because I was a college graduate, but the store needed somebody intelligent because the current cash office people weren't smart enough to do their job correctly; these two statements in succession put me off greatly, but I accepted the job anyway because I had nothing else at the moment. I noticed that the people who worked there looked very tired, but the store looked impeccably clean up front. Unfortunately, the manager's office and stock area was horribly disorganized.

Negotiation Details
I was given no chance to negotiate salary or benefits. As for advice, I would tell others to either try for a job at another company or stay there until you can find a better job.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Pearl City, HI (took a day)
The job interview was really quick it didn't take longer than 30 minutes how it normally how interviews supposed to. The interviewee just basically ask, "Why you want to work with Ross?" and They will talk about how the business runs on a slow and busy days, etc. You might want to ask how they deal with employees who might have trouble with other employees, to see if that want you want from them. If you are looking for a job who acts and takes really professional on a disturbing matters, this might not be the place you want to be. But if you just don't really care much about your job and just want something to get a salary of then, this will work for you.

I interviewed before the store open, so i think they were willing to hire anyone because they needed so munch help. But as the store became closer, people were leaving and they were letting people go to those who were not meeting up to their stanadards.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took a day)
It was 1 interview, very quick and easy.I was asked a few questions: Tell me about yourself, then about job experience. She then told me she really liked me and was going to run the background check. They also do an I-9 after your background comes back clear. The whold process took about 2 weeks till I actually started.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Denver, CO (took a day)
I applied online and got a call from the manger a few days later. We set up an interview time. I went in, he asked me a few questions, but they'll basically hire any one with half a brain. I was hired on the spot and then watched some training videos. Then, he said he'd give me a call in about a week since they had already made the schedule for that week.
