You are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. This question will help them not only assess your genuine interest in working for them but also clue them into whether you are the type of person to ask questions when training for a new job. The more questions you ask, the more enhanced your communication skills will seem, suggesting you're self-guided and successful at your job. Avoid discussing pay, incentives, or benefits.
