Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Interview process was short, applied online and they called. They ask for your availabilities and schedule you in for an interview. Afterwads, you see the manager 1:1 and they ask you various questions about your background and education, general questions for an interview. Got a call within a week but declined the offer.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Markham, ON (Canada) (took 1 week)
I first got a call from Walmart and they asked me a few questions on the phone then told me to go in for an real interview. When I went in (which was the next day), it was a group interview. We each had to pretty much introduce ourselves and then they gave us an item to sell on the spot to them. We got into pairs and one pretend to be a customer looking for that specific product and another one as a sales associate.
After that "pretend game", they had 7 different department manager come in to have a group interview with us. We each get around 1 minute with each of the manager and they interview all of us asking different types of questions (some questions were repeated). Some managers were really nice, but there was one that was really mean and discouraging. It seemed like she was trying to make the interview hard for us.
The interview took around one hour, but then it took them a week to call back and it takes 2.5 weeks for the background check! Then finally they called me today asking me to go in for the orientation. It took a total of one month to finish the whole process!

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
I had a group interview with 3 other interviewees. We were told to interview each other and then rolled played a situation between a customer and a sales associate. After that, we had a 1 other managers (2 already there) come in and each manager asked 2 questions. The questions consisted of Tell me a time... or What would you do... type questions and were generally easy. The entire interview went smoothly and the managers were very nice and helpful.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
The interview process was fairly simple. They ask you some behavioural questions about situations involving problem scenerios. The whole point is to determine if you are a team player and how well you deal under pressure. They ask you a lot of other typical questions like why do you want to work here? what are the hours you are looking to work. If you are fairly confident and can solve problems easily it is easy to get this job

Negotiation Details
There is no negotiations in price you get minimum wage and if you want a higher salary you'd have to have a lot of experience to show for it, but even then they would just higher someone else who will take lower pay to do the job. So my advice is to just take the job otherwise you could lose it.
