I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Exton, PA) in Apr 2018
Interview
Really standard interview. Give a description of your skillsets, past experience, motivations to work at Whole Foods. But then it got weird. I was left sitting in the dining area (where the interview took place) while upper management (which was in line of sight but not hearing range) kept looking over at me while talking with each other. This continued for roughly 25 minutes and I considered walking out simply because I was between my two jobs on an hour time window before the next one started. Then I was given an offer which I accepted. About a year into the job I was informed that the prolonged waiting period was deliberate to see if I would wait as they had already made up their minds after walking away. I still consider this to have been an unprofessional waste of my time. And time is the one resource you never acquire more of; once its gone, its gone for good.
