Interviewed Nov 2010 in Charlotte, NC (took 2 days)
The first manager asked about my accountability in last job. He didn't say about pure commission. He explained unclearly about the termination if a salesman does not sell well, e.g. no number of volume or amount $. The second manager explained stoutly for earning as commission paid only; don't expect to get hourly pay or $ or 'draw-$' as hhgregg calls as I knew later. It's not a difficult interview. One candidate just need to show up with determination to sell and work on commission base.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There is no much to negotiate. One can try to ask for the privilege of selling both sides, TV and appliance, to earn more volume and $. The other is to ask for certain date be off, e.g. Mon & Tue, because you get days-off on weekdays only.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Highland, IN (took a day)
Interview was very professional, had to do a small skills test and pick the top three things out of 10 that are the most important and order them by importance level.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 1+ week)
Brief phone interview at first, and then a face to face interview with a manager and assistant manager. A background check was done, and then I was called and asked to do a drug test. After that, I was called and offered the position via a phone call.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
I went in and asked about the hiring process showed the manager my resume and got a preliminary interview. I was told that the application was online to go home do it online and give him a call back. I did that then got a call a day later that I needed to come in for a formal interview with the GM. I went through that interview and was asked how soon could I take the drug test. I did it the same day and started about a week later.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 1 week)
I was contacted by e-mail after I applied online for a new store that would be opening within a month or so.. In this email I was asked when a good time to have a brief phone interview would be. I replied and a very nice man called me the next day and told me about the position. He asked me to come for a formal interview the next week. I spoke with him for about an hour and he asked the most questions I've ever been asked in an interview. After that he had presented me to the GM and was told about a scheduling conflict I had. Because I would miss one week of the two week training (which I assumed would cost me the job), I was put in the "pool" and would be contacted if they didn't care for other applicants or if some dropped out during training.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Palm Beach, FL (took a day)
Manager who was new to HHGregg looked at my limited retail resume and talked for 3 min. and sent me to department manager who set up my drug test. that was it , i was hired 3 days later by email. manager called and set up training date out of town but would not set up car pool or give info on how to get to Hotel 20 = miles away. I brought lunch 1st day because they did not inform us a meal was provided. training was scheduled to start and end @ rush hour a car pool would have been convenient and considerate of the trainees expenses and time. We were told we would get mileage and never did.
Negotiation Details
Draw against commission @ minimum wage no negotiation.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Homestead, FL (took 2 weeks)
Very professional, but down to earth Managers. All 3 Managers made the situation more comfortable, which calmed the nervous and anxiety feeling of an Interview. I was asked very general customer service related question. This interview only took about 5 minutes, then I was asked to stay a while longer while the store manager printed on a drug screen appointment, while I waited the other managers talked to me like we already knew each other. I waited about a week and a half for the results of my background check and then was called to start orientation and training.
