I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Oak Brook, IL) in Oct 2014
Interview
The interview was two female managers, which took place in the food court. It was pleasant, straight-forward, there really weren't any tricks. The interview was more of a dialog than 20 questions and I never really felt under the gun. Just be thoughtful about your answers, in case they ask follow-up questions.
