I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Splendora, TX) in Feb 2012
Interview
You must fill out an online application. However, in order to be considered as a serious prospect you must speak to the manager of the store you would like to work at. It is necessary to constantly nag the manager in order for him to remember and put your name at the top of the list. They will then call you in for an interview within a week where 4-5 questions will be asked. At that time the first interview will be over. If they like what they saw then you will be called back and at that time they will then drug test you and tell you when and where you are going to train.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger (Fort Worth, TX) in May 2009
Interview
I was called in for an interview, they liked my previous experience so they scheduled another interview with a manager higher up for better placement purposes. I was hired on the spot did my drug screening and orientation and was on the job within a week and was promoted to manager position within a month.
