I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret in Sept 2010
Interview
Every Victoria's Secret store may have different procedures for their hiring process based on the management team and their store volume (size). Normally, an application is filled out and submitted; more than likely it is reviewed soon afterwards. If the applicant's availability meets what the store is in need of, the applicant has no discrepancies with the applicant's information and the application is FULLY FILLED OUT CORRECTLY, they should get called for an interview. The interview can be done with any manager, but more than likely will need to be done with the store manager at some point along the line. Once that is done, the reference checks will be called, and if those check out the position will be offered.
There is no certain time this is required to be done in, it really depends on the efficiency of the management team who is doing the references and hiring.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you can work any time, day or night, you are more likely to be hired. Open availability is the most desirable in retail. If you can work anytime, specify as such on your application so this is known.

Question 1
They asked me to tell them a little about myself and my experience with different retailers, they spent a lot of time trying to get a feel for my personality to make sure this position was a good fit for me, also they asked me about how I prioritize things.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Victoria's Secret
Interview
I interviewed with the Assistant Store Manager and then the Store Manager. My interview didn't require meeting the District Manager because of the high volume of the store I was interviewing for - the store manager had many responsibilities within the district and was trusted to hire me herself. Make sure you mesh well with the Assistant Store Manager in this role - you will be their right hand.

Question 1
When asked why you want to work for Victoria's Secret - talk about what you can contribute to the business - not how much you love the product.
