I applied in-person. I interviewed at Walgreens (Jersey City, NJ) in Jan 2017
Interview
Two people interviewed me including a pharmacy manager and district manager. The pharmacy manager asked me the questions, while the district manager took notes. They asked case scenario questions and why I want to work for Walgreens. The whole interview was about twenty-five minutes. It was fast and professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a situation where you had a miscommunication.
Was able to schedule my interviews quickly and they were very responsive to emails. They asked very basic questions about your background as well as your motivations for applying. The recruiters were very nice and easy to talk to.
There were behavior based interview questions, tell me about yourself, strengths and weaknesses. Usually with a pharmacy and store manager. Maybe with a district manager. A tour is given if interview is in person.
Interview process was really easy - they ask basic questions for any normal pharmacist job and a routine screening. I worked at Walgreens as an intern for most of my college years so there wasn't much additional screening for hiring as a pharmacist.
