I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pilot Flying J (Toledo, OH) in Apr 2011

The interview was pretty straight forward. Was interviewed one on one by site manager and was asked standard interview questions. They were looking for someone who would stick around long term.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we choose you over other candidates interviewing for this position?
Talked to a recruiter, then interviewed with the regional manager, next was a store walkthrough, and finally interview with HR which in my opinion should have been the first step after the recruiter.

I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Pilot Flying J (Southaven, MS)
Interview
They were very professional, asked a lot of personal questions. Was not honest about how much work you would really be doing and how understaffed the store is. Was not told that Pilot does not believe in having enough people working the over-night shift, and that if you work that shift you must do all the work of 5 people and still wait on customers. They wanted you to be honest and they did nothing but lie. (this was made clear once I started working there)
