I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walgreens (Hoffman Estates, IL) in Apr 2014
Interview
Applied online (usual retail test online), I was instructed to call the store manager of the store I was interested in working at the next day (via the website). I had an interview right away (about 2 days later), took and in-store test (easy), did a drug test (outsourced) and was hired in a week or so (because I could not get to the drug testing facility asap).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Scheduling. As in when are you available. That's it. Also it's a big plus if you are over 21. That seems to be an issue in most stores to sell ciggs and alcohol.
Walgreens rarely hires full time for retail positions. I'd recommend applying for a shift lead position if you have a flexible schedule.
Interview was 20 minutes and asked basic questions. Interviewer was very friendly and welcoming. They bring you into the office and ask all the basics. They ask about past jobs and why you want to work there.

Interview
I met with the Store Manager and Assistant Manager of the store, it was a typical interview. They asked about my work experience and my availability. There was also a drug test offsite (urine).
Quick and basic questions. Nothing extreme hired on the spot and started the following week. Very nice manager who interviewed. Wanted my history & work experience. Usually I’m pretty anxious during interviews but not this one.
