Interview
Easy as pie, I was hired after talking with the manager for 10 minutes, even though I had no experience. The staff was really friendly and laid back. So just be yourself and you'll be fine.

Interview
I completed my application online and then I went in to take the skill assessment in the store. After I was done I left my name and number with one of the managers. He told me to call and speak with ---- who was in charge of hiring the next day. I called and he said that he will look over my application and give me a call back in two hours and if he didn't he said to just call him. I had to call him and he told me to come in that afternoon. The employees were friendly an helpful but they were busy and the interview was short and to the point. There were six behavioral questions. I can't quite remember them all. He said he will give me a call back because there were several other interviews and so I waited and he called back two hours later and told me to do a drug test and we went over my availability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Think of a time when you had to tell a team member no. Why did you and what was the outcome?
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Nashville, TN) in Jun 2012
Interview
The way to start is to apply online. Once you finish the easy stuff, you'll have to go into the store, where you'll take the skills test on the computer. Make sure your schedule is clear for AT LEAST an hour - this can take a long time. The store manager was there when I came in, and she offered to interview me immediately. I can't say it was very difficult - she seemed very inexperienced and a little bit unprofessional, but nice nevertheless - but hopefully it's different at other stores. She told me I needed to take a drug test, recommended a place to go, and told me we'd talk about my starting salary once that went through. Now comes the worst part - the waiting. I've talked to other employees and they've all said that the waiting process is a pain. I waited about a month before I heard back, which was very inconvenient, unprofessional, and irritating. I got the call, though, on a Saturday, and was asked to start working on Monday. And here comes the second worst part - TRAINING. It's like ten plus hours sitting in front of the computer going through training videos, which is just annoying. I was able to shadow the cashier up front for a while, and they even let me practice checking people out. It's honestly doesn't take a lot of getting used to this job; once you learn where everything is and how to use the new register (which were installed literally the week after I started), everything should come easily.
