I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Madison, MS) in Oct 2012
Interview
I applied online. I was contacted 2 weeks later for an interview. I arrived early, and had to wait. The interviewer finally came to interview me. Was immediately asked to see my indentification and SS card. She copied it, then proceeded to give me papers describing the duties of cashier and courtesy clerk. I was asked questions regarding education, past experience, scheduling availability, customer service, and why did I want to work for Kroger. She went over the pay scale, training, scheduling, dress code, lunch/breaks, and insurance. Afterwards, I was given an oral drug test and back ground check. Exactly one week later, I was contacted to come in and do paperwork. Training was then scheduled.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Hurricane, WV) in Apr 2011
Interview
There was one interview. They called me 2 days after i filled out my online application. The woman who interviewed me was super nice and friendly, i felt right at home. They didn't really ask me any questions. Just the basic questions, example: "When can you start?" They did a drug test, it was one of those strips that you put in your mouth, it tasted horrible. the drug test took 24 hours, and she let me now when i was to start. I did 3 days of computer training. It was nice to know what i was doing before they put me to work. Lots of safety classes, bagging classes, cashier classes, customer service classes. Also video lessons, and visual lessons with managers. I felt well prepared before i started actually working. They gave me 2 work shirts.

I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Process was confused me. I was asked over 5 times in the begining by 5 different people whether or not I had a college degree. My answer was yes and never changed...never. They then took the opportunity to remind me that you needed a college degree or had to have been a previous department manager in order to be considered for the position. Again folks...I have a college degree. I make it through the interview process and accept the job offer only to get into a training class with 23 other people. Of these 23 people, there were only 3 college degrees and 2 prior department managers. That should have been a sign...but unfortunately, I ignored it.

Question 1
None...the two current unit (store) managers that interviewed me pretty much read from a script the entire time. Again....that should have been a sign...but unfortunately, I ignored it.
