Interview went well , they said we will contact you in 2 business days. They mailed me after 3 days they selected someone else as per the time requirements... becoz I mentioned only week days.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger
Interview
Very easy interview. Applied online through an employee referral and was quickly contacted by telephone for a pre-screening. The screening consisted of general customer service related questions. I was then scheduled for an in-store interview and was asked about my previous work and more basic customer service related questions. I was offered the job on the spot and required to do an oral swab drug screen. Once the results came back I was scheduled to begin work within the following days,
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Louisville, KY) in Jun 2017
Interview
Applied online. After two weeks, decided to call to see if they were still hiring/check in on my application. Talked with a manager who then set up a time for an interview.
Interview was simple and laid back, and the hiring manager was very sweet and friendly. Would ask me questions about myself between asking standard questions prepared for candidates. Interview went well, and after talking with hiring manager, I talked with HR manager, who just gave a basic run down of the manner in which I would be expected to behave as an associate.
Afterwards, I took a drug test (saliva), and was told I would be called back when results came in. A week later, the hiring manager called and a date for orientation was set up.
Overall new hire process took about a month, from the day I was hired until all training was complete. Simple process!
