I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kmart (Chehalis, WA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Fairly informal interview process. She was very interested in my past retail experience even though it was over 10 years ago. Did not make her questions clear, she beat around the bush and confused me.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kmart (Madison Heights, MI) in Mar 2014
Interview
They had a job fair so me and my friend went to it. Was super crowded and took over four hours waiting just to be interviewed. I didn't apply before hand but they didn't mind. The interview took about 5-10 mins. Afterwards, i went home and applied. Two days later got an email about taking a drug test and background check. I go tomorrow for my drug test, everything should turn out fine and i should hear back within the next couple days to start.

Applied online for this position anyway - application included audio and video scenarios where you select the best choice for a situation. It prob took me 2 hours online to do the whole appl. Was called 3 weeks later. Interviewer was very nice, I was offered job at end of the interview. Was willing to work with my schedule.
