I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Charleston, SC)
Interview
Interview was done in a group setting. When arrived, was asked to fill out forms and sit in their cafe. After that, sat down with one HR representative and on Team Manager and was asked multiple questions based on Call Center expectations. After that, was asked questions based on past work history and examples of a time when.... The HR rep would write down comments while the Team Manager asked and spoke. Very nice people as they really would like to just get a feel of you right then and there. If you are lucky enough and are picked as a possible future rep, you are then asked to go upstairs to listen to calls for a few minutes with a rep. Finally you are brought down and exited where you wait for a call.

Interview
There was one interview after taking test and under going a background check. They were pleasant. Employees were nice. The questions were basic. I was led to believe there was great room for growth but in reality there was little.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at T-Mobile (Salem, OR)
Interview
This was one of those interviews where you know more than the person interviewing you. I must have said all the right things because I was invited to skip much of the hiring process after interviewing with 6 people at my first interview. I was not entirely sold on the job and it was kind of a last resort thing for me. Very close to my house so short commute time etc... I decided to do the background check just so I could keep the option on the table in the event that nothing else panned out.
The background check was conducted by an outsourced third party who is located somewhere in India. After about a week I was informed that the company was unable to verify a substantive part of my resume, because the previous employers would not disclose the information they were requesting. Also they had mountains of criminal convictions for people with the same first and last name as me. They expected me to do their work for them. Most of the people did not have the same middle name, all had different DoB (most were 20 years older than me) and they all lived in parts of the country where I have never even set foot. Many of them were African American or Hispanic all in all it should have been very easy for a professional company to verify my employment and make the determination that the criminal records were not me. All this to say they are not a professional company. Perhaps if my circumstances were different and I really needed the job, I would have put in the effort and done their job for them but I didn't need the job and informed them as such.
