I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (New Britain, CT) in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied online and about a week or so later after not hearing back, I walked into their satellite office (since the Costco hadn't opened yet), and told them I applied. They then took me in for an interview, asked a few questions, then hired me on the spot.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Mettawa, IL) in Sep 2012
Interview
Applied online for any position (for the seasonal hiring period). About a week later, got a call to interview at the warehouse.
Walked up to the entrance, asked one of the receipt checkers that I was there for an interview, she informed me to go to the managers' office, and then wished me good luck ~
Interviewed with a Department Manager, and then with one of the Assistant Store Managers. At the end of the interview with the assistant store manager, she extended an offer for me to work in Night Merchandising. A few minutes later I was sent back to the office to take an oral swab (part of the drug test). I was told that I would get a call for an orientation day once the drug test and background check came back fine.
From initial online application to orientation, the process took about 3 weeks.

Question 1
Typical behavioral questions, i.e. how would you handle an irate customer? How would handle problems with a coworker? Why should we hire you? Can you multi-task?
Then a more specific question that gave me a clue as to what position I was being considered for: do you know how to use a pallet jack?

Interview
I applied online and they called me a week later. I went in for one interview where they asked me many situational questions. I got called back for another interview two weeks later. This time it was me and two of the main supervisors. They just asked me a couple of questions relating to my past experience and then explained the hours, and gave me a tour of the facility.
