I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Von Maur
Interview
Specific criteria used for each position to filter applications. They do phone screenings with about 5 questions. Then they call your references and if all is good, they will call you for a second interview. Depending on the position there may be up to 4-5 interviews. There are three just to be a sales associate in the stores. They also have you read the job description in the interview.

Question 1
When was a time you disagreed with you boss and did you tell them?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Von Maur (Davenport, IA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Formal setting in small room with a few chairs in a room and 1-2 interviewers typically asking situational questions, did not receive a tour of the facilities and did not leave room for entire process. Only lasted the morning and was completed by the afternoon. Interviewed with 1 person, then 2 different managers who had open positions then briefly spoke with GMM for a more casual conversation for what seemed like a personality portion.
