I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger in Jul 2016
Interview
I applied on the website, it was fairly straightforward and nothing out of the ordinary, it included one of those personality quizzes common for this time of entry-level jobs and this one was one of the better ones (read: not boring, the Lowes one, for example, killed my will to live). A couple of days later I got a call from Kroger's recruiting office for the division I applied for where I was told again what the position was (part-time cashier), asked if that's something I could do and if I was still interested and a couple of quick questions (why do I want to work for Kroger, what's important when dealing with customers), etc. and I we set up an interview time at the store I applied to work at. A couple of days later I went to the store for the interview where I talked to their HR person. We chatted a little, I was only really asked a couple of standard interview questions (tell me a little about yourself, why do I want to work there, etc.) and I was immediately offered the job which I accepted, signed some paperwork and did the saliva drug swab test as well as agreed to have a background check done. I was told to come back the next day to start with my training.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kroger (Gainesville, GA) in Aug 2014
Interview
We had a group interview with about 8 people, and they questioned us about our work experience and gave us scenarios. Shortly after we had a one on one with one of the hiring managers.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Phoenix, AZ)

They ask what hours you are available to work and schedule you whatever they need. You will always work weekends, forever. And only get. 15 cent raise for every 1000hrs worked.
