I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Lugoff, SC) in June 2010
Interview
This was by far the most intensive interview process I have ever applied for. The company really impressed me by the amount of preparation I received from the recruitor for my in person interview. The company invests a lot of time in interviewing. The day of the actual in person interview lasted for 4 hours. The group was lead on a tour in the dist. center and then received a presentation. The one on one interview time lasted for approx. 2 hours. There were 3 different interviews that were all situational/ behavioural based questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you have to give negative feedback to your supervisor from that was from your team's consences.
Basic interview questions. Nothing hard or exhausting. Just basic prep is totally acceptable. Flexible scheduling and multiple locations including virtual. One round of interviews with management. Don't overthink it and just have basic preparation.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Target (Springfield, OR)
Interview
Initially I had someone reach out to me via Indeed. From there I had a chat with the recruiter who walked me through the job and next steps. I completed an application and then a video interview that consisted of 6 questions. After that was sent in I was told to schedule a face to face interview at the store. When I arrived at my interview my scheduled interviewer was unaware that she had anything scheduled. She recovered quickly and took me upstairs to the offices. The store director was on a phone call at that point so she took me to another room while we waited. What I was unaware of is that the interview hadn't quite started and that we were waiting for the store director. We chitchatted for at least 30 minutes before the store director arrived. It all seemed very casual at this point. We started a packet of questions very similar to the video interview questions. I answered everything and then I was thanked for my time. I did not get the job which felt a bit confusing after seemingly being fast tracked and then a very cheery and lengthly interview.
Had 3 interviews for the position as they were in between Store Managers. Once the new Store Manager started, HR called me and had me come in same day to interview with the Store Manager and I was offered the job on the spot.
