Very informal. I suppose it will differ by site. Mostly concerned availability and any past research experience. I found my interviewer to be very easy going and enjoyed the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience tracking and maintaining Balance on Hand (BoH) metrics for retail goods?
I applied online. I interviewed at CVS Health (Boston, MA) in Nov 2011
Interview
Applied on line. Received phone call the next week. Arranged for an interview with the manager of the store. Arrived early for interview. Had to wait at least 20 minutes before the manager came out of his office.
The interview was conducted on the selling floor. Due to this fact there were many interruptions during the interview from customers asking about the location of items in the store. I found this to be very unprofessional. A job interview should be done in an office where it is hopefully quiet and private.
The questions were the usual type of questions. Such as why do you want to work for CVS, why should I hire you, tell me about a difficult situation that happened at your previous job and how you handled it and what was the outcome.
I got a phone call about a week later offering me a part-time job which I accepted. The pay was $8.00 per hour. I got full-time hours after working there for over a year.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CVS Health
Interview
Quick 30 mins. Questions were the usual basic ones every job asks. They take you to the back room and into the lunch room and you are interviewed by the manager and their assistant.

I applied online. Got an interview within 2-3 weeks. Got hired the next 2 days. It was a very laid back interview and more conversation like. The manager looked at my resume and asked me about my customer service experience.
