I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Menards (Evansville, IN) in Feb 2012
Interview
quick 10 min interview to ensure you can tie your shoes. followed by an off site drug screen and a quick tour of the store and break room. nothing to difficult about the interview process, esp if you are referred by an internal employee.

Question 1
not a tough interview at all. although the HR guy I interviewed with relocated so the process could be different. but they hold hiring fairs frequently so not a lot of quality candidates come from those.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Menards
Interview
The interview process for Menards was very simple and straightforward. Human Resources representative was knowledgeable and I interviewed with the department manager of the department that I was interviewing for.
Very easy, simple questions that they ask. Usually with the general manager and maybe with the department head. Pretty quick to getting back for the interview process and offering the position.
The interview was in person and lasted about 45 minutes. A GM will sit in on the interview with you and ask additional questions (usually more in depth, especially if there is an area of concern in your application or answers). There are about two pages of questions but most are pretty standard.

Question 1
They will first ask the standard tell me about yourself but their main and biggest question was "What do you offer that stands out more than our other applicants for this position. What can you offer us that others cant?"
