Interviewed Nov 2010 in Denver, CO (took 2 weeks)
HR recruiter called me and we had a brief interview by phone. Mostly job descriptions, skills needed, a bit about my background. Recruiter said I would be contact for in-person interview, and I was a few days later.
Face-to-face interview consisted of 2 managers asking about my background, skills, how these fit in with the job. Heavy emphasis on sales aspect of the job, generating opportunities, uncovering assets. The fact that I would probably end up working the 11-8 shift also stressed several times.
Mock call is placed toward the end of the interview, prompting you to demonstrate your customer service and sales skills.
At the end, you take a brief personality test via computer.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Denver, CO (took 5 weeks)
Recruiter called and did phone interview/screening. This normally might have been 15-30 mins but in my case it was about an hour. It consisted of basic questions about my background and qualifications, informing me about the potential pay, shifts, job description, etc. Then HR staff called to set up in-person interview.
I interviewed with two managers who went through several behavioral-style questions (similar to those posted May 12 by someone in Charlotte). They also did a role-play where I had to spontaneously sell them an IRA. Overall, everyone in the process was friendly and professional. The interview questions were straightforward and, if you know what you're talking about (i.e. have experience in the industry) then they were pretty easy to talk through.
The only complaint I'd have is that in my case I had a background item that I'd disclosed upfront with each of the people I interviewed with. They said they'd checked to see if it was an issue and it didn't seem to be. After the in-person interview I got feedback that I'd done well. Then a week or two later was told that their compliance department had nixed me due to the disclosure item. It would have saved all of us a lot of time to have that run up through compliance beforehand.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Denver, CO (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and got a call from HR. Then did an initial phone screen. I was then brought in for a face to face with the hiring manager. I needed to do a presentation of sorts (really it was like an exercise to produce a document to show how I think/work). I had a one hour interview with hiring manager. I received good feedback within the week and set up a final interview with the director the following week. The final interview was more a conversation and seemed to be more one to see if my style fit with theirs than a skill interview.
Overall, it was good process. It was fast and I got good input.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer because they offered 10k below my minimum. Apparently they were never going to hit my number and for some reason didn't tell me that until they made the offer. Very disappointing. Also, there is no parking or light rail allowance for their downtown Denver office - so its like taking even more of a pay cut to work there!

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Denver, CO (took 3 weeks)
Phone interview detailing job and was asked if I was interesting. Followed up by interview 2:1 asked questions regarding previous experience...was asked to do a role play pretending I was a travel agent trying to sell a trip. Everyone was very friendly and spoke as if the job was already yours...which was a bit strange.

Interviewed May 2010 in Denver, CO (took 2 weeks)
Applied online; got a call from HR rep who interviewed me over the phone a day later. A few days after that, I was invited to interview with 2 managers onsite. Directions and expectations were communicated well. One of the 2 interviewers did not show up but another took her place. They do not hand out business cards or any other identification - I only caught their first names. They ask you to follow-up only with your HR contact.
Interview consisted of 3 parts: get to know you, situational interview, then telephone roll-play (it is a retirement call center). The managers gave me roll play situation and a few minutes to prepare. They called me from another office.
Afterwards, they sent me on my way. I heard from HR rep about a week later with the offer.
Process was very organized and I appreciated them laying out expectations of the position.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I have experience so they placed me at upper end of pay scale. No additional pay negotiations were accepted by them. I had some contact with a couple of employees in similar positions from mutual friends. Use linked in or other online sources to research the culture.
