I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Cincinnati, OH) in Apr 2009
Interview
Kroger is very conservative. Don't wear something too "trendy" to the interview. A suit and tie is good. When you apply, you will take a personality test and skills test with your application. Then, they will review that and send you an interview offer. If you get an interview offer, you need to fill out more questions about specific incidents (handling discipline, customer complaints, etc). The first in-person interview is to weed out the good candidates from the bad ones. If you make it to the second interview, you are good to go. The second interview was more like a conversation to figure out your store placement.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kroger in Oct 2009
Interview
They called me to set up an interview for the night cashier position. The interview was pretty short, basic interview questions. They offered me the job on the spot and of course i took it.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kroger in Aug 2009
Interview
All of the management people were friendly. The interview was very short because my boss is kinda shy. He seemed hesitant to hire me because of my schedule, (I have another job). I was hired on anyway and have been there for 2 years now. The people in the pharmacy were not very friendly and did not acknowledge me as I walked up, which made me feel unwelcome.
