Entretien
The interview process was pretty long. First They conduct a phone interview and if they like you they bring you into for an in person interview. The in person interview was a little stressful but everyone involved was extremely nice and encouraging. The in person interview was 4 hours long and consisted of a retail math test, two separate 30 minute interviews conducted with two current head buyers from different departments and then a group case study where they give you a sheet of information about a business unit (refrigerators, hair care, tools, etc.) and it is your job to discuss amongst yourselves (usually groups of 8 people interview at a time) to decided which persons business unit get a grant for 100 million dollars.Overall the interview seems really nerve wrecking but it really wasn't. They give you a study guide for the test and the case study isn't necessarily about who can "win" the money but more about how you interact in a group and how you make decisions in a group since you all have to decided together what business unit gets the grant. After the test, interviews and case study, you get a tour of the building and trust me, the tour alone will sell you on the job.

LONG, about four hours. First you have to take a retail math test, but you are given a calculator and a study guide to look over days before. After that, you interview with two sets of people. Basically 2 - 2 on 1 interviews. One side is Kmart and one side is Sears. Then you have a group interview and are given a paper and have to decide as a team who should get funding for their products and why. The point here is not to win, but to figure out who would profit most and why.
