Walgreens Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details After online application, I was called for an interview. I was interviewed in a cramped, busy office. All the normal interview questions were asked. I then was asked to take a skills test. this test was all about money handling. Just common sense math. After the test, some more interview questions. I was asked for a drug test and hired on the spot. Overall, i feel that they were desperate.

Interview Details interviewed with the store manager, very basic questions about what I knew bout the company itself. Basic customer service questions. Background information. Asked me if I was capable of very simple functions

Interview Details Applied online to two different stores; If your application is good and well, you're told to do an assessment in the store you'd like to work at. I was called for an interview about a week later although I was told they weren't hiring when I went in store to check on my application status. I had one interview and it was very basic. They do a urine drug test and background check which takes about a week to process. I was offered the job about 3 days after my interview.

Negotiation Details – I was called and offered $8.50.

Interview Details I called at the perfect time. I got an interview the next day, and was offered the job immediately following the interview. Not to mention I'm good with people, but the interview seemed easy-peasy

Negotiation Details – There is no negotiation available for pay. I have 5 years experience, but was forced to take the starting pay equivalent to someone with no experience. That was disappointing, but hey, it's a job.

Interview Details Filled out online application. Called in for an interview two days later. Took a pre-employment assessment to determine mathematical and cash handling skills. Passed assessment and was asked to supply three references. Once references were verified I was required to take a drug screening test. Passed drug test and was hired to begin training the next week.

Negotiation Details – No negotiations regarding pay.

Interview Details I knew an assistant manager who was my brothers frat bro( its the easiest way to get hired if you know someone) regardless he got me an interview. I went in they asked me if why I wanted to work their?

Interview Details Very customer service oriented and profit increase focus. Not focused on really anything else like job skills or past retail experience. Was never given a straight answer of being hired through the whole process until they said "You are scheduled for your first shift on..."

Negotiation Details – No negotiation but found out later that I was not initially going to get offered the job and that one person had to beg another to hire me.

Interview Details Interviewed online and was called about two weeks later. Went in for the interview and it was pretty easy. All I was asked about was what I was doing in school, where I wanted to be in about five years, and why I chose Walgreens. Took a skills test which took about two days and was officially hired.

Interview Details (I'm a 16 year old sophomore)
First, I filled out an online application which took about 30 minutes. After completing all of the information, I was instructed to fill out the second half, a "Skills Assessment", at one of their stores at my earliest convenience.
The next afternoon I stopped in at the store and told the cashier that I was there to complete a job application. She called the manager and I repeated why I was there. The manager asked if I was 18, and I explained that according to the application 16 was the minimum age for every department except for photos. She then seated me at a monitor behind the counter where I logged in to my active application using my SSN (if you don't have it memorized be sure to have it with you) and started the Skills Assessment.
The first half consisted of multiple choice "what would you do if..." questions. The second half was questions containing a picture of a price along with an assortment of bills and coins. The instructions said to find the correct change using the fewest bills and coins, and gave four options which read [Tens (#), Fives (#), Ones (#), Quarters (#), Dimes (#), Nickels (#), Pennies (#)] with different amounts for each option. The entire skills assessment took about 45 minutes to an hour.
As I was leaving the cashier told me to call back in a few days and confirm that the manager had received my application. A week later I called and asked for the manager, who told me that I should call back around 8 in the morning to speak to the manager that handled the hiring process.
When I did I spoke to the manager who asked my name and then my phone number, saying he would call in about half an hour. He called back 30-ish minutes later and very politely told me that he had looked over my application and that while right now he was looking for someone who was more available and could work days (I couldn't because of school), he would keep my application and call me if something opened up. I told him that in about a month I would be out of school and able to work days, and he said I should let him know when that changes.
Overall, this being my first job application, it was a very pleasant process. The system was well organized and the people I encountered were very friendly and polite. Though I did not get the job at this time, I hope to possibly work there this summer when I am available.
