The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in May 2010
Interview
I applied online and received a call two weeks later. However, this was during a hiring period and may not be the norm. I answered the normal basic interview questions and was passed on for a in-person interview. This was actually more of a skills analysis. The questions were based on product knowledge and customer service.
Overall, the company itself was ran rather well and efficient. The training consisted of several weeks.

If a customer becomes irate and abusive, how would you handle yourself and the situation?
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Feb 2012
Interview
Originally applied online with the home depot. I received follow up phone call in which i was asked to respond to scenarios about my experiences, and recipient wrote down my answers, which was awkward. I then had a one on one interview which was exciting, but found out the pay was much lower than I had anticipated. I received a follow up phone call that informed me that corporate made a mistake, that the position was unavailable and would i be interested in another associate position, and I was. So I took the job. The people I met were genuinely nice, and the work culture seemed pleasant and enthusiastic. I received a warm welcome from my coworkers.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot in Nov 2010
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter about an opening supporting their purchasing department. I told him to go ahead and submit my resume and was notified a day later I was selected to be interviewed. I had a phone interview for an hour and it seems the interviewer was looking for someone with exact same experience.
