I applied in-person. I interviewed at Walgreens (Portland, OR) in Jan 2015
Interview
Asked me the basic questions, and it was very easy smooth interview. The employer was very nice and made me feel comfortable. Overall experience was good and satisfying. I rate this a 8 out of 10.
I applied online. I interviewed at Walgreens (Garden City, NY) in Aug 2017
Interview
Applied online to Walgreens a week ago, and called the store a few days later to check on my application status. The assistant store manager scheduled an interview 3 days later. Day of the interview I was greeted by the ASM, I had to sit and wait a few minutes because he was busy with a phone call. About 10 mins later he called me over and he brought me to the back of the store, the actual store manager was there waiting for me and both the ASM and SM interviewed me at the same time in the same room. Both were really nice, it wasn't intense or anything. We actually laughed a few times and it was more of a discussion than an interview. I've had prior experience from Duane Reade so I wasn't really that nervous. After the interview they said they would contact me in a few days with their decision. Literally the next day, the day after the interview I got a call back saying I got the job! They said I will get an email about doing a drug test and then move forward with the hiring process!
