I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Cincinnati, OH) in Jul 2015
Interview
First, I had two phone interviews, then I met with Store Team Leader a few weeks later. Then you'll met with many STL and ATL and prepare a presentation for a panel interview with regional and STL. In order to meet with everyone, I had to make sure I planned it out and was very organized. Somedays after working my full time job, I would be in Whole Foods for three hours meeting with ATL & STL. This will take a lot of time and organization. The issue during my process is the interview kept getting pushed back due to management issues that was beyond control of the STL. Finally, a date was set months after my phone interview and two days prior to my interview, it was canceled. They then decided they would keep me informed on the process and never heard back from them. Later, I found out they combined the areas marketing team efforts to both local stores. It's was very frustrating spending hours, upon hours on this project and then not even getting the opportunity to present it. Don't get me wrong, I loved Whole Foods Market and believed in their concepts but after this experience it certainly changed my mind.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market
Interview
I only had 2 phone screens. I applied online and got an email requesting for a phone interview about 3 weeks later. After what I thought were good phone interviews with a regional member and store manager, I was notified that they were not moving forward with me. =(
The discussions were fairly casual and the level of difficulty with their interview questions was average. Mostly asked about my work experience and background. Each conversation was only 30 minutes long. Even though I was disappointed I didn't get to have a face-to-face interview, I was glad they gave me an update within a week of the first phone call screen.
