I applied online. I interviewed at CUMULUS MEDIA (Wilmington, NC) in May 2014
Interview
First interview started with a lot of paperwork and two timed tests. After that I interviewed with the sales manager and it was a relaxed interview. The daily routine seems very regimented and micro managed especially for a commission only position. They will pay a small salary for the first year but you have too start without any accounts and build your own base during that time. The territory was fairly large and there was no compensation for your vehicle, gas or cell phone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There weren't any difficult questions except on the written test.
No Drug Test. Easy process. Everyone nice. Honest about the work and its difficulty. Nothing really to hide behind. No background check beyond a MVR that I passed with DUI a few years back.

Question 1
What was a hard thing you have started and finished.
Very in depth interview process. The first interview was over the phone and took an hour. The second interview was with the local market manager. On the third interview I met the sales team and had a back and forth conversation.
Very casual conversational interview, in person, comfortable environment. Second interview was virtual, also very casual, non intimidating, conversation. Definitely felt appreciated and welcomed. Management seemed to really care for their employees and their success.
