I applied in-person. I interviewed at Kroger (Columbus, OH) in Jun 2012
Interview
You would sign up if position was open and based on seniority and experience you would be granted an interview once you were granted an interview they would ask you basic personality questions and ask you what you would do in certain situations that pertained to the job title you were hiring for
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Houston, TX) in Jul 2014
Interview
Hiring process was easy, only an online application with many survey questions to answer. Interview was in the style of a group interview, everyone took turns answering questions and it was a very relaxed process. Basically if the interview went well, you had the job. You didn't necessarily get the position you applied for, but rather what they needed.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Athens, GA)
Interview
I was called and scheduled an interview. I showed up and the manager I "interviewed" with basically just told me about the job. I wouldn't call what I had an interview although I'm not complaining. I think they just needed people who knew how to breathe, which is all this job requires anyway.
