Interviewed Oct 2011 in Hoffman Estates, IL (took a day)
Applied thru career services at my school and got an interview, lady who interviewed me was really nice and relaxed it was really enjoyable. Seems to be a really good company to work for although I have not started yet so I couldn't tell you. It was just a one on one short interview, simple basic behavioral questions and I did fine.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Manhasset, NY (took a day)
I had an automated interview after I completed my online application. I went into HR and waiting 25 minutes. After waiting, someone came and told me the real HR manager wasn't there so she would try to do the interview. She asked me what position I was looking for and left for 2 minutes. Came back to say that they were not hiring in that position (despite what it said online) and that they might have an operning in 2-3 months.
What a waste of time.

From the initial filling out of the paperwork to the 1:1 interview; everything was smooth as it could be. The process of the interview was extremely detailed and I was notified every step of the way.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I initially applied online and after the assessment, was prompted to set up an interview. I suppose if you do well on the assessment, they do this automatically. Anyhoo, I set up an interview for after school at 1:30 (I'm a student in high school) and I got a call asking to reschedule. I did, and arrived 15 minutes early. This was my first interview ever. I sat and waited, and one of the employees came in and gave me a thumbs up, whispering that I looked good while he walked away. Confidence booster! After the manager got done interviewing another person, he asked me in. He was SO nice! He asked if this was my first interview ever, and I told him yes, and he was incredibly helpful. He gave me tips, like looking him in the eye while I answered, and every time he asked me a question, he said "don't be afraid to ask me to explain." He was very nice, I could tell he was a father because he was very understanding. At the end of the interview, which was 4 questions, plus asking about my work hours and such, he told me I did very well and that I should be getting a call back for a second interview after he sent the information up to HR. I haven't been called and it was on Thursday, but here's to hoping. If I don't get it, I'm still glad my first interview went well!

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Lubbock, TX (took a day)
I applied for a position at Sears via their online website, which has the nice benefit of auto-establishing an interview for you. The interview process was very laid back - the Supervisor and I had a 1:1 interview, he spoke briefly with the store's GM, and I was offered a position that day.
The culture was stated to be laid back, and that was fairly obvious even through the interview process with extremely general questions that, as long as you don't answer in a terrible fashion, they're pretty much looking for the most minimal competency required.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Johnson City, TN (took a day)
Talked with HR manager for a while and answered some questions about myself and my experience in the workplace. Typical questions about your strengths, weaknesses, and customer service interactions. I was then interviewed by the Asst store manager and after getting to know me a little better she offered me a job. Both were very nice, easily approachable, and very respectful. Don't wear a suit to one of these interviews though, you will be overdressed for sure. Slacks and a button shirt with tie will work just fine. Overall, it seemed like a good place to work and I got a good vibe from the people in management.

Reason for Declining
It was for a part-time position, and I was under the impression it was full-time. I explained this to the Asst Store Manager the next day, and she encouraged me to apply for management positions in her store and another nearby. I guess she really liked me!

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 4 days)
After i had applied online for the cashier post advertised, i got an interview call in a day. On the day of interview i was on time and was asked to wait for sometime. After about 10 minutes i was taken to a cabin
and the interview lasted for about 20 minutes. The questions were the typical ones already posted in this site. The interviewer was asking questions from the paper he was holding and noting down the answers given by me. Finally he asked is there anything i wanted to know about the company. Overall the interview was easy and nice.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
The interview was quick and easy. I was asked some questions about how I would handle customers and how I managed stress. I got the job easily. I recognized my first problem with the company when they were hiring so many people at once. High turnover.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Mansfield, OH (took a day)
HA hiring process? There was no hiring process. I applied for Sears on Tuesday October 4, 2011 and received a call from a lady named Brenda around 7:30 p.m. She asked if I would be willing to come in for an interview on Friday at 2:30. I said most definitely.
So Friday rolls around and I went to my interview. I arrived 10min early and went directly to the HR room. Once I got there I heard someone else being interviewed so I waited patiently until they were done. Once their interview was done I popped my head in the ladies office and said
"Hi, I'm so and so here for an interview."
The lady just looked at me like I was an idiot and said "Ok???"
I just stood there and then she said "Who are you interviewing with?"
I said "Brenda"
She goes "Ohhhh, well Brenda called off sick today and I have to go on lunch now because I haven't had lunch all day and I have other people coming in at 3:00 for interviews."
I was like "Ok?"
She says "You can just have a seat I'll find someone to interview you"
I could hear her page two different people "Hey I have someone here for an interview, would you want to interview them?"
Both people answered "Nope!"
So then she came back into the room I was in and said "Someone will be with you shortly." and she just walked out to go to lunch.
I sat there for another 5 min and then I just said forget it and I walked out. No one even came into the room to interview me.
WHAT A HORRIBLE IMPRESSION AND A HORRIBLE ENVIRONMENT TO WORK FOR! COMPLETE JOKE!!!
