I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kohl's (Milwaukee, WI) in Oct 2014
Interview
First round interviews at University and asked back for an on-site interview day at corporate. They take you around the city of Milwaukee, take you out to dinner, put you up in a hotel, then you have rounds of interviews at the campus. You have 3 one-on-one interviews with associates with a range of jobs and management levels, and then you have a group interview with ~4 other people where you are presented with a retail business question and you have to work to come to a solution with the people in your group. The interviewees sit and watch you deliberate and then present your answer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kohl's (Milwaukee, WI)
Interview
Two day event. Multiple interviews in round robin style, Interviews were with different managers as well as recruiters. Dinner at night with recruiters. Second day was a presentation of benefits and company culture.
Simple process with good support from HR! Typical questions around who you are, why you're here, why they should hire you and more. Behavioral questions as well to understand how you may respond or react in a certain situation based on your past experience.

Interview
It was a good experience overall. I was interviewed by two different people on the same day. The women I interviewed with were merchandise analysts within the company. It's good to be prepared and having experience with data/spreadsheets/basic retail math is very helpful.
