I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Des Moines, IA) in May 2022
Interview
The interview started 10-20 minutes late. I was finally able to get asked some questions then we had to leave to another part of the building for a meeting lasting about 10 or more minutes... not your normal interview!

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deal with a difficult customer.
I recently interviewed for a Sales Associate and the process was... interesting. The first interview was quick—just a few questions about customer service and availability—but the manager kept getting interrupted by walkie-talkie calls. The second round involved a short “floor test” where I had to greet real customers and fold clothes under pressure. Everyone was polite, but communication afterward was slow; it took nearly two weeks to hear back. Overall, the experience was a blend of friendly energy and a bit of chaos—pretty much what I’d expect from retail, honestly.

Question 1
Can you tell me about a time you turned an unhappy customer into a satisfied one?
Simple process. Applied online on the careers website, did assessment test, 1 screening call with current AFDP, and a final virtual interview and case study with the same person. Received offer.
