Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
Applied in the Fall and got an email to set up a phone interview in late December. Interview seemed pretty standard. I was in contact with the recruiter for a while, but he eventually stopped responding to my messages, so the message was clear. Seem like a solid company to intern for, though.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Maumee, OH (took 3 days)
I applied online in the spring of 2011. Filled out application which consisted of; work history, education, consent to drug & background check, and uploaded resume. Had to submit SS# or would not be considered.....I here it is still questionable to ask for SS# on applications? Did not receive a call until the following September. First interview was on the phone with the Team Leader. Just basic questions about job descriptions of the job and If I felt I was the right fit. (about 45min.) The next was a face to face group interview in which the team leader's boss asked all the questions. I was there on time and it took them an hour and 15min. to start to the interview. I was asked about my background followed by situational questions. (about 1hr.) I then met with the store director. He ask me two questions about if I thought I would like working there. He then offered me the job.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Grand Rapids, MI (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted by an internal recruiter and the phone screen was professional. I was then asked to participate in an all day, on-site interview process. The overall interview experience was negative. Many of the interviewers were late; the senior leaders who interviewed me spoke more of themselves than delve into my background; in one case, a senior leader began to argue her point and the interview turned into a debate.
If you would like to work for a very traditional, heirarchical organziation, Meijer might be a good place for you. However, progressive and creative thinking was never mentioned during the interview process, so my take on it was that this competency is not valued across the organziation.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 5 days)
Had worked there for years--came back in and applied in store. The manager fast tracked my application to the Team Leader (manager in charge of your designated department). Normally there's a phone interview, but they just scheduled me for an interview with a department leader (General Merchandise, not service). After that I came back in a couple days later to meet with the Store Director. All this time you have to wait for your background check to clear. Once everything is set and they approve you--you're scheduled for a training session.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 5 weeks)
Meijer asks: What was the situation? What action did you take? What was the result? The behavioral interviews consist of a telephone screening, an interview with the hiring manager and another leader, and a manager one level up. The best way to prepare for an interview if you are an internal leadership candidate is to know your numbers (sales, margin, shrink, etc.). All external candidates should practice responses expressing experiences with customers, leadership, and direct reports in both positive and negative situations. If your answers do not follow the situation/task, action, and response path, it is impossible to interview successfully. Role play practice will help make your interview a success.
Tell me about a task you were given, but not given all of the information.
Tell me about a time that you exceeded customer expectations.
Tell me about a time that you were asked to do something unethical.

Everything is negotiable. Negotiate pay and vacation up front. Getting anything later is more difficult.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Lexington, KY (took 1 week)
I applied online. Within 1 1/2 weeks I was called to come in for an interview. I was interviewed by 2 people the 1st day. I agreed to submit to a background check on their computer on a Friday. I was called on Tuesday afternoon to tell me they had received my background check and would like to schedule the final interview the next day. The person that I was to interview with was not available, so I was told meet with the Story Manager. He was quiet pleasant and we talked for approximately 30 minutes. He then welcomed me to Meijer and said that I would see another person fot beging my internet testing- ( which had to be completed before being permitted to go to work). The next day I met with the scheduling manager and was told to report to work the next day.

it was a total of 3 interviews, 1st with area team leader, 2nd with a random team lead, and 3rd with Store Director
No Drug test at Meijer Inc. thats probably why they only pay you $7.40/hr regardless of your experience
Wage increases are actually not bad, but goes based on hours worked. You can get up to (3)$0.25 raises the first year alone
Negotiation Details
no negotiation, try and you wont get the position

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 days)
People were very helpful and explained how everything worked at the store. Questions were easy enough to not stump you completely. The people who did the interview were friendly and were easy to talk to, so it was not too intimidating.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Novi, MI (took 2 days)
I applied online for Sales associate then I got a call about a week later. It was a manager from the shoe department. She asked me could I come in the next morning at 11:30am for an interview. I went in the next morning. The manager was kind of disorganized so she asked me a couple questions about my previous jobs and availabilty while she scrambled around her desk. I came back in two days later for a second interview with the store assistant manager. It was pretty straight forward, more professional but very easy. This manager asked me the same questions about my previous jobs and availability. She only asked one scenario question. They called later the same day and told me I got the job.
