I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Conroe, TX) in Aug 2011
Interview
You apply online and they'll call those they're interested in to set up an interview. I t consist of all the fairly typical application question(are you reliable, are willing to work hard, etc...). They then let me know on the spot that I was hired as soon as i passed a drug test(given right then via oral swab) and they finished my background check, which took about 3-4days. After that you go through a day of computer training then are put out on the floor.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger (Cumming, GA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Initially received a phone call to schedule an interview several days after my online application. I arrived a bit early so I had to wait for about ten minutes upstairs, I guess they weren't expecting me to be prompt. When my interviewer arrived, it was fairly straightforward and quick from then on. We went into the office and I was asked simple questions about myself, my work experience, and why I wanted to work for Kroger. At that point, the conversation shifted to the job description, work environment, expectations of me, and the drug test I'd have to take. I then was given time to ask questions, and then taken to the HR person to take my drug test. I was called a few days later when the results were in to schedule training and orientation. Easy process, and the front end manager was very nice throughout it all.

Question 1
There weren't really any difficult or unexpected questions. They were fairly simple and straightforward. The only one that wasn't about me or my history was why did I want to work for Kroger, and that was simple to wing my way through. Easiest interview I've ever had.
