Interviewed Oct 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 3 weeks)
You apply online and take a skills/personality assessment. If you pass the assessment, you are asked to fill out a more comprehensive application. After this, it may take a while to get a call back. I applied to several stores and was called to interview at one of them.
The interview was pretty typical for a retail sales position. STAR format questions. Define success. Sell me this phone.
After the interview, a background check is run and a drug test is required. This step only takes a few days.
Negotiation Details
HR sets your hourly wage. The commission structure is consistent company wide.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
It took me a week to get an interview. The first interview was really tough; many questions and a lot of talk. Although most of the questions were common, they were very challenging. Then after that, it took another week to be called for the second interview; however, it seems that they already had chosen me in the first interview because i made a good impression(they told me this). Both interviews were long; first was about 1 hr and the second one was around 1.5 hr to 2 hr. My best advice is to prepare for the interview because they are challenging, always smile! and make eye contact. If you don't make it, don't give up. I have been interviewed at sprint for three times and in the last two I had a good outcome. Good luck.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Fort Worth, TX (took 2 days)
I applied on-line and received a link to an on-line assessment. It's a typical assessment and a virtual call center "walk through" where you actually listen to a call and "practice." Then you fill out the application. The next day I received a phone call to schedule a phone interview for the next day. The typical questions took place on the phone call, "tell me about a time when," and then I was scheduled for a 1:1 the next day. The 1:1 was very relaxed and fun, and I was moved on to the next step immediately which is the drug test and background check. I completed the drug test upon leaving as it was on my way home, and still waiting for the background check to complete, which I have no worries about.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Jacksonville, FL (took 3 weeks)
I have been trying to work with Sprint/Nextel for about a year. I was in college when I first applied and I recieved a call to interview. Long story short the position got cancelled. I applied online through the corporate website. Following this sprint sent me an invitation to complete an hour long IQ, skills and personality test. About 5 minutes after the test I recieved an e-mail stating that I passed the test and someone from Sprint would contact me shortly. I recieved a call 2 weeks later from a Jacksonville store. I went in to interview with the manager of the store and the senior retail sales consultant, took about 15 minutes. 2 to 3 days later the store manager called me back to set up a second interview with the district manager. A week later I interviewed with the district manager which took close to an hour. 3 days later, I got the job. Ofcourse after I passed the background and drug test.
Perks: no cell or internet bill. I problably pay around 30.00 a month for both unlimited on employee plan, tuition reimbursement and family perks..etc.

Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation with Sprint/Nextel which I was super surprised about. They offered me 9.75 hour plus commission. I was told 9.75 plus commission was for people with experience since I had previous years of retail and mobile phone experience with another company. I was very upset due to the fact that I have a 4 year degree. Not acceptable. They would not budge on the hourly rate. Other carriers start atleast at 11.00 plus commission.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process consisted of behavioral and technical questions. I planned for the interview by researching the organization, job function, and by asking those that were familiar with the organization. The overall work environment is pretty relaxed.
