I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lowe's Home Improvement (Saint Louis, MO) in Mar 2009
Interview
Applied online then went to my Lowe's store and spoke with the HR Manager personally. I received a call from her the following week to be interviewed. I first interviewed with HR Manager, then Asst Store Manager, then I was to interview with the Store Manager but he was unavailable so I was asked to come in the following day. After an interview with the Store Manger, the HR Manager administered an oral drug test. A few days to a week later, the HR Manager called me at home and made me an offer of employment.

Question 1
Nothing out of ordinary just to see if you will be competent managing others

Interview
The hiring process was pretty simple. You start online and go through three interviews. Once you get past the first interview you're in good shape, especially if they are hiring a lot of new employees. Be on time, wear khakis, be polite and use your common sense. For a lower level job that should be enough to get you in the door unless you're just not going to get hired.
I heard they were hiring roughly 40 people with 80-90 applicants total (for multiple positions). It's sad that those are GOOD odds in this area but, hey, you take what you can get. The entire process was very friendly and tolerable. It is one of the first job interviews I've been on where I felt like an actual person instead of a number on a page.
