Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I initially applied online and received an email about a month later to set up a time for a phone interview. The interviewer was very friendly and helpful about describing the position. I was asked basic questions about my personality, what I would do in certain customer service situations, strengths/weaknesses, what I have learned from my work experiences, how I would make a customer's experience better, etc. Overall, the phone interview was a very positive experience and lasted about 45 minutes. I heard back a few days later and set up an in-person interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The first interview is done through Skype if you do not live in the area. After passing that first round you have to go visit a store to see the daily routine of a manager and assistant manager. If you are recommended you are then required to go to the headquarters for the district and have your final panel/interview

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I had the most ignorant interview ever. I applied online and received a call back within 7 days. The recruiter said she wanted to find out a little bit about me after viewing my resume. Her first question was What was your college GPA? Where do you reside? What are you looking for in a career? I answered those three questions and she rudely rushed me off the phone saying: "Okay well we'll call you tomorrow if we are going to set up an interview if not then we went with someone else BYE!" Didn't even wait for me to say goodbye back. It lasted all of three minutes.. I can't believe they are so unprofessional...

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Folsom, CA (took 1 week)
First they will call you and you will do an interview with the regional recruiter. Then she called me back and told me that I would do an interview with the regional manager. I went in and did a one on one interview. The interview lasted about 25 minutes. When you do an interview make sure that you focus in on customer service skills. They LOVE customer service and that's what they want to hear.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The hiring and interview process are all very basic. Be honest and truthful with your responses. I had an one on one interview with the district manager. After the interview I was provided with papers that I needed to go and visit several other SW stores to speak with management about the day in the life of. Once that was completed inform the DM and set up another interview. The second interview the DM and HR guy was there. This is usually a good sign!

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 5 days)
Applied on line once for the job, had to re-apply, had to lower the required salary. Got an interview within days because I knew the manager. I may have been able to get the job, but it was not exactly what I wanted to do. And the pay was a lot less.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 months)
Brief, informal. No insight on job details or expectations. Just a big promo on how much of a good company it is to work for - and it is, in spite of the "cons" I last mentioned.
