I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Abt (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2012
Interview
Very informal. Asked if you knew about the company and if you liked sales. Then several basic questions followed including examples of how you would sell certain products to customers.
This is a very nice company with nice people working, Go in prepared and you will not have any problems. Be energetic and professional, as that is what they are looking for in a sales associate for this company

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Abt (Glenview, IL)
Interview
Terrible. Essentially one manager will come by (which p.s these people are terrible with being on time or caring who's time they are wasting) and do over stupid scenarios and role playing to see if you fit the part.
