I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walmart (Cleveland, OH) in Apr 2012
Interview
It was pretty nerve wracking at the start as it was my first experience with a panel interview. But soon into the interview my nerves had subsided as the managers were friendly and kept the atmosphere light.
The questions weren't too hard and they were willing to ask them in terms of school and past experiences rather than work specific, this helped me answer the questions better despite my lack of work experience.
The process was quick, within a week of applying I had received a call and gotten an interview. And by the end of the interview I had the job offer.

Question 1
Give us an example of a time you had to deal with an unhappy customer.
Phone interview and then asked to come in for in person interview. The hiring manager asked typical interview questions. Why do you want to work here? And asked bout scheduling availability,
There was a lot of questions but overall it went pretty decent. They were your standard interview questions. I am happy with the outcome but maybe I could do better next time.
Solid and very well informative process. It was straightforward and well put together. I really enjoyed the people that I interacted with and ultimately chose another route due to time constraints.
