Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
The interview is very well organized. They have employee/alumni helping the candidates before the interview. She helped to ease my nervous and told me a lot about the company. The people conducting the interviews are very friendly too.You can feel that they are trying to make you feel comfortable. The process takes about 20 minutes.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
Campus Interview: They scheduled me for a campus interview and they had 13 interview slots on-campus. Interview lasted about 45 minutes (6-7 behavioral questions) with the director and another inventory planner in the room. At the end of the interview I was told they will let me know within 1-2 weeks if they want me to go further in the interviewing process. 3 Weeks went by and I had to contact them to ask if they had decided on me. They should let candidates know if they want them or not.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 1 week)
Phone inteview was easy
The face to face interview consisted of 3 mini interviews.
Each person was really nice, but they all asked the similar questions even though it was not a structured interview as they came in with questions on a scrap of paper. The last interviewer talked about herself FOREVER, she was a strange, but still nice lady. The interview took over 2.5 hours.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
2 interviews, one on campus and one at the corporate headquarters. 3 panel interviews at corporate, had to basically say the same thing to each group of people. No skills test or anything objective. Also got a tour of the building and met a recent grad who was working at the position I was applying for

Reason for Declining
They offered me 43,000 per year and refused to negotiate. That is honestly pretty insulting considering what the typical offer is for that position in other companies (usually between 55,000 and 60,000) and the extremely high standard of living in Chicago and Cook County in general.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Manchester, NH (took a day)
I applied and they gave me a call back a couple of days later to set up the interview.
I went in and took a test it was mostly math problems.
I sat down with 2 people I think they were supervisors. They told me there were no right or wrong answers. They asked me What I like most and least about my last or current job. they asked me to tell them my most respected and least respected people were and why. They asked me to describe a typical day of work at my last job. One question was what do I think I need improvement on. What makes a good supervisor? Why I would be a good person to work at true value? They then gave me a tour of the warehouse talking about how the work was done. They then talked about safety and programs they had to make more money if you work harder. Then they told me if I was the right fit they would let me know in a few days. I got a letter in the mail saying they took someone else.
