I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Glendale, AZ) in Jun 2015
Interview
Never had an interview even though I was assigned for one. The interviewer never showed up and did not return my calls. I also received an email in case "she missed me" but didn't provide an email I could actually respond to. Very frustrating and a waste of my time. Not impressed with Kroger. Also the person who set up the interview from corporate was also rude.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Cincinnati, OH) in May 2013
Interview
After applying they called and asked me to come in for an interview. I met with a manager and team members. Kroger asks a lot of behavioral questions so prepare for those. Make sure to research the area you're applying for (i.e. If it's a job in the Finance department you should know how the stock is performing and skim through some recent financial statements that are publicly available on thekrogerco.com).

Question 1
Lots of behavioral questions such as "Tell me about a time that you had a disagreement with a coworker and how the issue got resolved"
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied online and got called back a two days later. The lady on the phone asked me if I had a minute to answer some questions. She asked me some basic questions like "what is excellent costumer service," and "why do you want to work for Kroger," then she reviewed my availability. She then scheduled me for an interview for a week later. When I came in to interview, it was very relaxed. They review your previous work experience, and ask you very basic questions about your previous job. Then they go over the personality assessment that you took along with your online application. I think the questions they ask you in the interview are based off of that. The interview is easy as long as you know your strengths and weaknesses, and how you work in a team, you should be fine. There were only about 4-5 situational based questions. I was given a drug test immediately after the interview, and I was hired on spot.
