Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 months)
I got a call from a Store Manager/ Recruiter after applying online. I came in 2 days later, found out I couldn't get an official job offer until I graduated 2 months later. Called 2 months later, manager remembered me, had me come in for a drug test, got start date. Now I'm looking forward to starting!
The guy was really nice. Asked me why I wanted to work for Walgreens & what I thought the job would be. He seemed to know he wanted to hire me when I walked in.
I had studied what the job entails & where Walgreens is headed to make sure I knew what I was talking about. He seemed VERY impressed by my interest & knowledge.
I'd suggest looking up Walgreens & trying to find out specifics about the position before going into the interview.
Overall, VERY easy interview & extremely upbeat :) :)

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took 2 months)
I had applied for manager in training on the Walgreens website. I stopped in at a local store and was referred to managers on two opposite sides of town, and interviewed with both store managers, two days apart, one on one for a Store Team Lead position. A week later I then interviewed with another store manager, that is impossible to get a hold of in his own store, who is apparantly whom you have to appease to get to the district manager who is in charge of all the salary managers in the north half of Oklahoma City. I was one of twenty-or-so applicants he had to interview, and was supposedly leaving out of town for a week a few days after I saw him. So over a period of 2 weeks of leaving messeges and "stopping in" at a store that's 25 miles out of my way, I finally got an answer that I would be recieving something in the mail that would give me the instructions for my next steps in the hiring process. Never recieved anything.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The store team lead position is the same responsabilites as the assistant manager with the added bonus of being the inventory control specialist for $6 less an hour. And after I fnially recieved a genuine phone call from a completely different manager who wanted to start this process all over again, I had already found another job with a company that seems to have a little better strategy then hire these 10 people, fire 8 of them 2 weeks later and then hire the next 10 who made it through 15 interviews at stores 20 miles away in every direction.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 3 weeks)
I had one phone interview, then two one on one interviews. The second interview was very informal and was described as a getting to know each other better. The manager was overly cocky and a complete ass. He liked that I was an alpha type like himself and ended the interview in twenty minutes. The distict manager met me on my first day of work and was one o the most helpful people that i met.
