I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at The Home Depot (Marlborough, MA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Very comfortable and informative. I felt welcomed as soon as I entered the door. I did not have to wait for my interview even though I was early. The interviewer/company seemed to care about my scheduling preferences because they want their employees to be happy. The interviewer seemed to enjoy working there. It is a friendly environment.
They no longer do interviews. It was quick and simple. Online says that so drug testing but I was not given one although They did do a background check. That processed very quickly.
