I applied through other source. I interviewed at Target
Interview
Very laid back experience. Interviewer (who later turned to friend) was involved, organized, and real. No trace of faked professionalism. I was taken into a small, cozy room, and interviewed three times by two team leads, and the store manager. All one-on-one interviews in the span of a half hour with the same basic few questions (I assume so they can collectively make an opinion on me). They are incredibly focused on team work and common ground, even among the higher ups, so I suggest pushing for that in the interview. All three of them were very open to a mutual interview, so it was easy to ask my own questions without pressure. All in all, pretty simple experience, even for somebody who's never been involved in a real interview before like myself.
Though Target is retail and closer to minimum wage, I would suggest it over many others of the same type. Very accepting of lifestyles and encourages expression, as long as it abides by the laid back dress code. A few issues I noted and expressed during my time there, but hopefully the company will only move upward in those areas in the years to come.
Though from what I've picked up, many Targets have very differing experiences, so I'd strongly suggest looking up ratings and reviews for the specific store you're looking to apply to beforehand.

I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Target (Riverview, FL) in Oct 2014
Interview
First a phone interview. Then followed by a one on one interview. Quick easy and straight to the point. Asked simple questions that correlated with Target's Vibe philosophy. It was a great experience seeing it was the first real interview.

Question 1
If a guest brought up a pair of shoes and they rang up the wrong price what would you do.
Two interviews with two different managers took place that same day. Each asking there own questions in two different rooms and taking note on how I answered each of their questions. It wasn't too difficult, just common sense questions that made the interview go by fun and quickly. They didn't make it seem like an interview but more of a conversation which made it more comforting to be there.
