I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger (Fort Wayne, IN) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. They texted me that they wanted to interview me, along with a link to a page listing the times they had available. (The page said 3 people would interview me, but I was actually only interviewed by one.) Once I selected a time, they sent me reminders the day before and the day of the interview. When I showed up at the store, it took me a second to find someone to alert that I was there for an interview. It took around 5 minutes for them to find a hiring manager. The interview lasted only 10-15 minutes instead of the allotted 30.
