Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Applied online, got invited to take a online questionnaire, at the end was further invited to a phone interview where you could choose a date/time to your liking (they call right on time btw).
Scotts sends out continous updates letting you know where you are in the interview process or if your still being considered as well as surveys to provide feedback on the interview process.
Phone interview was successful and met with Sales Manager for a in person interview with a store visit to demonstrate your merchandising sales experience. Got offered the job a week later.
Sales managers are very thorough in describing the job and expectations, despite the fact that they are selling fertilizer and grass seed, there is an entrepreneurial aspect in their culture and the values they believe in.

There was opportunity to negotiate your hourly wage depending on your expereince and what you could bring to the table. I've heard that now Scotts tell you what your wage is with no negotiation.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 1+ week)
I was contacted by the Human resources department of the Scotts-Miracle Grow company after I submitted an appliction online. Had a few formal questions to ask then set me up for a phone interview with an HR representative.
The HR person asked me some formal questions once again, and then notified me that I would have an in-person interview set up with the Sales Manager for this region. Interview with the sales manager, and got the job.
