Interviewed Aug 2011 in Cleveland, OH (took 2 days)
After you apply online, if a recruiter likes what they see in your application, they will contact you and conduct a phone interview. During the phone interview they will discuss the position duties, pay, and hours. They will also ask a few questions similar to the types of questions you would get during a real interview ("tell me about a time when..." ,etc).
After the phone interview, if you express interest in the position, you are called in for a group/panel interview, during which you perform a few team exercises, such as interviewing another person, and creating an advertisement. I think this gives the recruiters a chance to evaluate your personality and how you react to different situations.
If you pass the group interview, you are then called in for a one on one interview with both one of the recruiting heads, and the team lead in your department. The questions for this interview consist of a lot of customer service scenarios (what would you do if this happened?) and a lot of "tell me about a time when..." questions. Not extremely difficult, but not the easiest interview I've ever had either. Both the group interview and the one on one interview each took about 1 hour. I mostly enjoyed the group interview and the chance to meet some interesting people.
After the 2nd interview, I didn't get offered the position, but I think it may have more to do with my background and qualifications rather than how I did during the interview. If you know you are qualified and have a background relating to the grocery industry, or are just starting out (need a job while in school, etc). go for it!

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
The HR reps are very nice because they understand that young adults need this job as a summer job. They explain everything thoroughly but the only downside is you MUST join the food workers' union. I like the union but if you don't want to join the union you can't have the job.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Wexford, PA (took 2 days)
The interview was conducted first by a HR manager, then 2 other department managers within the store. There was a drug test that followed the interviews. The only way to apply to Giant Eagle is through their online hiring website. Afterwards, I was contacted via email to set up an interview. After the interview (they immediately extend the offer), you are expected to attend 2 orientation sessions before starting work.

Interviewed Mar 2008 (took a day)
They had me apply over the phone and answer questions, then I called back a week later and asked if they had gotten my application. They told me to come in and I had an interview with the HR manager and filled out paperwork to start work the next week.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Frederick, MD (took a day)
It was a great experience. I applied, received a call for an interview, and went there within a week to interview for a part time job. The process only took about an hour and a half, and I learned a lot about the company.
