I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Target (West Jefferson, OH) in Apr 2014
Interview
Contacted via recruiter on LinkedIn. Talked with her twice, both times were basic questions following STAR format. She set up initial on site interview for the following week. I arrived early for the interview and the security guard told me there were no interviews scheduled for that day. I reassured him that there were indeed interviews and I was there for one. After he sorted things out I waited for twenty minutes for an HR representative. She escorted myself and one other applicant through the warehouse on a tour. She then brought us to an office area and had us wait for our interviews. There were three separate interviews. Each with two people. The first was with the engineering / automation team. The second with the logistics side and the third with inbound/outbound. All interviewers were very friendly and the interview was again STAR based.

Interview
I was approached for a potential position as a Distribution Team Leader with Target through my LinkedIn account, where I received a message via a campus recruiter.
The process started very slow in which the recruiter took some days to reply to a single email, which I found odd since they had reached out to me originally. Once it started picking up, I was scheduled for a phone interview. Took about 30 minutes. Generic questions about who you are and behavior responses to certain scenarios. I was invited to take part in a second phone interview the following week.
During the second interview, same generic questions. This time they told me I needed to apply online through the Target website, which was fine, but they made me feel as if I should have already known this when it wasn't mentioned in any prior conversations. I was also told I would be sent an online survey/skills assessment test that would take about an hour.
Upon completing the application and being sent the test, I had 48 hours to start/finish it. It was sent to me at 10am on a Friday during which I was in the middle of working a 12 hour work shift followed by a 16 hour work shift the next day. Questions included situation/response, math, and other similar "rate yourself" questions. Overall it was an easy test but due to be exhausted from work, I was not at my peak mental proficiency, and since the test was sent to me on a weekend, I had no chance to ask for an extension, so I'm pretty sure I didn't do so well.
Nevertheless, I was not moved to the next phase of interviewing, which would have consisted of multiple on-site interviews. I was told via email and that I wasn't allowed to ask for any feedback of why/what I may have done wrong. In the end, it's probably a good thing I didn't proceed, because I found out that the position seems to be one that has a horrible turnover rate, most people dislike the job, and it wasn't unseen for people to just quit and leave. So I guess I dodged a bullet with this one.

Interview
I received and email from a recruiter to set up a time for an initial screening, after the first call there was a second phone interview with the same recruiter. I took an online test, and then I had an interview at the distribution center. Three interviews with two employees in each. The questions were pretty similar in each interview. Laid back setting. They say to come dressed in business casual.
