Interviewed May 2011 (took 1 week)
I had worked for Rite Aid as a part time associate for about three years. I wanted to boost my resume so I applied to be a part time shift supervisor. I had to have the consent of store management and an interview with HR and the District Manager. My store management knew me very well and backed me all the way. the interview with HR and DM was very simple.... basic leadership and personality questions. Both were very nice but emphasized the importance of the position I was being given at a fairly young age.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 days)
My application process started when I attended a hiring event Shift Supervisors. The hiring manager ask me a set of typical interview questions then had me filled out a written application (I also brought along a resume.) It ended well the manager then told me that I could go meet with the Area Manager that day before 1:00pm which was 30 minutes away. I hurried out of the store to make it to the other store on time. I met with the Area Manager who asked me many questions. He basically explained the job ever more thoroughly than the last person I spoke with. The more they describe the job duties, the greater it became clear that Rite Aid does not care about their employees and "cheap labor" is the name of the game around there.
After completing a personality test the Hiring Manager called a few days later and stated that they were offering me a job. However, she stressed the word "contingent" which almost made me feel like they were just waiting for me to fail a drug test or something. I mean I am double qualified for the position as I have the experience and I have a college degree. What really sealed the leak was that she also emphasized the $9/hour pay which I found insulting.
Many of the people that I spoke with had worked with Rite Aid for years and seemed to be just settling for the rations they were sold. It's clear to me that Rite Aid is not an appealing place to build a career and I have no regrets in turning down the joke they regarded as an offer.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
More than the pay, I declined the offer because the company culture is seriously lacking. Rite Aid needs to wake up and realize their employees are just as pivotal as the customers they serve. Upon further reflection I do not see Rite Aid surpassing their national competitors in terms of sales or employee satisfaction.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2011 in Redmond, WA (took a day)
I was interviewed for 45 minutes. I was asked why I left my previous jobs, seems like they really care about why you left your previous employer and what was wrong with the previous employer. They ask you about your strengths and weaknesses. About a time when you praised a fellow co-worker and time when you told someone they weren't doing something right. How do you achieve your goals and where do you expect to be in the next 5 years or so.
However, regardless of how many questions you are asked, the recruiter was the most boring person I have come across so far. I asked him a question regarding customer service and he showed me something posted on a wall next to me. So they don't really practice what they preach, it's just on paper and that's it. If you are looking to work for a company full of exciting people, Rite Aid is probably not the one for you.

Interviewed May 2009 in West Conshohocken, PA (took 3 weeks)
he hiring and interview process was well organized. Rite Aid store mgr and assistant were very professional and communicated the job description and expectations with clarity. The employees appeared very pleasant and very knowledgeable about the company requirements. Overall, I was pleased with the results of the interview. As a form of advice to future interviews, apply direct eye contact. this notifies the interviewer that you are serious about the job. Stay relax because you to be comfortable. Have all the necessary paperwork as if you already have the job. Stay optimistic and be pleasant about the interview. Remember, the job is already interested, just sell yourself to the maximum.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Buffalo, NY (took 5 weeks)
Interviewed with HR, was a great experience. Interviewed same day with DM, also very good. Then...nothing. Did not hear back for almost a month, then heard from a DM closer to my home, did the interview, was offered the job. Overall, mostly pleased, but the time between the first DM and second DM interview made me give up hope until I got the call back.

Negotiation Details
I gave what I was making now in a similar position, was asked if I would take less for more advancement. I said I would under the right circumstances, but he said that in "these conditions" (economic), he wouldn't ask anyone to take a pay cut, so we agreed on that.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 days)
It was a quick and easy interview with my district manager. We connected almost immediatley. He understood my position being unemployed, and with no experience in retail, I feel he took the easy road in terms of an extrememly low salary to begin.
I thought not very long and probably gave a sign of acceptance before an offer was even made. I felt confident I would get the job based on the interview, but didn't think I would be paid so little for what turned out to be quite a bit of responsibility!
