I applied online. I interviewed at Walgreens (Garden City, NY) in Aug 2017
Interview
Applied online to Walgreens a week ago, and called the store a few days later to check on my application status. The assistant store manager scheduled an interview 3 days later. Day of the interview I was greeted by the ASM, I had to sit and wait a few minutes because he was busy with a phone call. About 10 mins later he called me over and he brought me to the back of the store, the actual store manager was there waiting for me and both the ASM and SM interviewed me at the same time in the same room. Both were really nice, it wasn't intense or anything. We actually laughed a few times and it was more of a discussion than an interview. I've had prior experience from Duane Reade so I wasn't really that nervous. After the interview they said they would contact me in a few days with their decision. Literally the next day, the day after the interview I got a call back saying I got the job! They said I will get an email about doing a drug test and then move forward with the hiring process!

Filled out the application online. Approximately 18 days later I was called to come in for an interview. Two managers interviewed me. They were very professional and ask the usual interview questions. Received a job offer through email two days later.

Interview
I first applied at a different store. Then later on I decided to apply on the store near me. I already did the assessment test on the first store I applied at so the other store was able to pull out my test results. I went to the other store I think on 07/07 then I set up my interview on 07/12. After the interview, the manager told me he'll call me on 07/14. I was surprised when I checked my emails and found out they offered me the position on 07/13. So I filled a form online for my background check then I called the store and asked about the drug test and told the manager I can pick-up the form the following day and I did and finished the drug test on the same day. With all my excitement, I called the store again on 07/19 and asked for my results and the management on duty told me everything came out good! I went to the store and fill-out the forms electronically for my employment on 07/20 which is today and tomorrow 07/21 is my first day onboard! That was a fast process and I wasn't expecting it! I hope I'll be happy with the company!
