Interviewed May 2012 (took a day)
As soon as i got home from school I got a call and it was from my local Walgreen that I had applied online to a week ago. I was planing on doing the second part of the assessment later so that way I would for sure pass my drug test. But she called and asked if I was available for that day to come in a do the second part of the assessment. The assessment took 40 minutes and was somewhat easy but was tricky in some ways. The interview itself was short because she only asked me two questions: "how would you describe yourself?" and "if it was a Thursday and you had work the next day and your friend called you and said she won tickets to a (favorite singers) concert, what would you do?" The second question was kind of to see how honest I was, which I was. I said that I would work because I would want to keep my job.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Gainesville, FL (took 2 weeks)
You Apply online. Take 2 tests. One is online during the application the other is in store on their computer. Then they call you for an interview if you score high. Interviewed by 2 managers..very friendly easy standard questions. Accepted offer. Minimum wage kind of sucks.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Westminster, CA (took 1 week)
I interviewed online and I had to come into Walgreens for a skills assessment test. The skills assessment test was easy for me but I found out after that many people do not pass the test. You must at least past the skills assessment test for the employer to even look at your application. The interview portion was mostly about situational ones where they grade you based on a scale of 1-5 on how well you answer the question. The questions were mostly "tell me a time when...". I also brought in my resume which might have helped me land the job. I got called probably within 2-3 days after telling me to come in to complete the paperwork and get my drug and background check.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
Was called in to complete the skills assessment, and interview, for a Sales Clerk position. The skills assessment was on a computer, and required basic reading and math skills. Following completion of the assessment, I had an interview conducted by a Manager. The gentleman was very nice, and asked what would be considered standard interview questions. I was told the position started between $7.50 - $7.75 per hour, and the shifts would be between 30-35 hours per week. Following the interview I was provided with a drug test form, and advised where to go for the testing. Mr. Manager said it normally takes the lab 2-3 days to return the results. Several days later I received another call from the store asking me to come back in as there was a component of the paperwork they'd neglected to get me to complete. I returned to the store, and clicked twice on the computer. The Manager on Duty said everything was in order and they were waiting for the results of my drug test, and background checks.
Overall I was impressed by the professionalism of Mr. Manager, who had been with the company for many years. He had an interview style which balanced seriousness with humor. The only downside I could see with this job would be if a person needed to support themselves, and had no other source of income. The pay/hours would make it difficult to pay your bills.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
After applying online and finishing the rest of the application at the store, I was called for a 1:1 interview with the store manager. Pretty basic questions like tell me about yourself, do you have past retail experience, what would you do if you saw someone stealing, why do you want the job, ect.

Reason for Declining
I was overqualified for the job and I had a better opportunity.
