Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and three weeks later I got a call back from an HR person from St. Louis. I then was asked a few basic questions about customer service experience and was asked to setup an interview time. I setup the time and met at the local branch with the branch manager. We went through basic questions regarding school schedule, career interests, and customer service experience.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 4 weeks)
I submitted my resume online at Scottrade.com. I was then called by a recruiter for a phone interview. She then followed up with me a few days later asking if I would be interested in an interview with the Branch Manager. After that interview I had to wait another two weeks for an offer.

First Interview is a basic screen. The second you sit with a branch manager and s/he asks situational questions. The hardest thing is that you are in front of the entire office.

Phone interview went well, got to the branch interview and was handed a skills test! Very difficult Series 7 type of questions. I wasn't prepared for it. Haven't taken the 7 in eight years..... so study up people! Not a bad interview experience otherwise though. They communicated well and promptly.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 days)
The hiring process was a very lenghty one to say the least. HR Move very slowley. There was a phone interview with an HR rep. and the branch manager. Then, there was a face to face interview with branch manager. I took almost a month to hear back from them before I was offered the job.
Negotiation Details
I would try to negoitate a higher salary to start as the starting pay is below the industry average.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Roseville, CA (took 1 week)
Each Scottrade branch is ran by the branch manager, therefore the style and difficulty of the interview will depend on their style. My experience was a informal interview were I sat down one on one with the branch manager and spoke about my school experiences, why I have an interest in working for Scottrade and a few questions on customer service.
The whole purpose of the interview is to see how you will handle difficult customers and what type of customer service representative you will be. My advice would be to go in confident and just try to express what type of person you are. Since many of the branches only have a handful of people who word in them personality fit is important.
