I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger (Atlanta, GA) in May 2016
Interview
The store I applied to did not have a Customer Service counter in sight, so I asked a cashier where I should report to for my interview. I went upstairs, told them my name and asked for the person interviewing me, and he took me to his office. He gave me some paperwork to sign (saying I got the job description/requirements, I consent to a background/credit check), then asked me a few questions. He also said that they may need another employee in the bakery since the manager was about to go on maternity leave, so he would also consider me for that position as well as the Produce Clerk position because I had a short amount of experience at another grocery store bakery. He said he would let me know by the next day (which is today, as I am writing this).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you choose Kroger? Why should I choose you over the other candidates? Tell me about why you quit (job worked for a very short term). Are you okay with the wage ($7.30/hr)? Will there be a problem with lifting up to 50lbs or the cold?
I applied online. I interviewed at Kroger in Jun 2026
Interview
Interview was very brief and only asked me my previous employment history and availability. I was then given a run down of what the position would entail and had to sign a couple papers proving that it was explained to me. Overall not too bad and was very laid back.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Hilliard, OH) in Dec 2025
Interview
Rote, simplistic, smarmy interviewer. Typical open ended questions regarding customer service. I got the distinct impression that I was being eliminated due to my age. I frequently shop at the store and there are very few employees over age 45.
Easy, very basic questions, pretty much just questions based on prior employment and contributions to team work.Easy, very basic questions, pretty much just questions based on prior employment and contributions to team work.
