I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Dollar General
Interview
Very simple, I just walked in and asked for an application. I was very fortunate, as I was hired within a week or 2 because I told them I could work on Sunday (apparently no one else wanted to there). Easy interview questions anyone with a reasonable amount of foresight could answer.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Des Moines, IA) in Aug 2013
Interview
The application and hiring process is pretty standard. The one plus is that I didn't have to wait for a phone call after the interview -- I was offered a job at the end of it, and set up to work as soon as my background check came back.
