Interviewed Mar 2011 in Beltsville, MD (took 3 months)
Found them through Penn State job fair. Did a preliminary interview a few days later. Afterwards I completed the online personality and IQ test. Once that came back positive they wanted to wait until after the new year to do a second round interview. Scheduled that and did a panel interview consisting of 4 interview with different management levels lasting 30 minutes each. After that they made an offer which I accepted.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Fairfax, VA (took 3 weeks)
I originally found a posting for a job fair on LinkedIn. I called the phone number to find out where it would be hosted and spoke with an HR rep. She was very nice and told me to come to one of their model homes. I watched a short presentation by that same HR rep at the job fair and then was able to get an onsite interview (you're supposed to sign up in advance, but someone canceled and I got in). I interviewed and was emailed shortly after, to fill out an extensive online personality test and logic/intelligence test. I also had to fill out an application online, with specific questions about my strengths & weaknesses. After that, I was called to schedule a 3 part interview with 2 managers & the Div. Pres. It was originally going to be 4 people and take 4 hours, so I was glad that it ended up only being 3 people/3 hours. They sent me an email describing the behavioral questions they'd be asking, to help me prepare. These were similar questions to the ones in the onsite interview at the job fair. Of course, none of the sample questions in their email were the ones they actually asked. The questions were things like, "Describe a time when you had to make a big decision. How did you make the decision and what was the outcome? Describe an obstacle you've had to overcome." It can be tough to think of examples on the spot, especially after hours of interviewing. In the end, I did not receive an offer. I suspect that I had too much experience and they really just want fresh-out-of-college kids that they can train their way. I could not get any feedback from HR on why I didn't get the offer. They just tell you that you don't fit what they're looking for. Good luck. It's a tough process.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 3 days)
Interview process is behavioral, and there is a phone interview first as a pre qualification. From there you'll be invited to interview at the office/division of choice, and interview with 3 managers sometimes 4 separately.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Newark, DE (took 1 week)
Much of the actual interview process is behavioral. Most of the hires for this position are recent college grads, and as a result the process is greated towards applicants with little or no relative work experience. Be prepared to answer a lot of situational questions. Describe a time.....Why would we hire you.....What is your biggest weakness etc. Advice from other employees includes being energetic and driven during the interview process. Job requires up to 3 weekends per month, and is entirely salary during the training period and 100% commision afterwards, be enthusastic about those prospects. Not wanting to work weekend, or be payed entirely on your sales are immediate turn offs for this company.
