I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Bellingham, WA) in Apr 2016
Interview
3 separate stages. Group interview, Team Leader Interview, then Store Leadership interview. They asked us questions in the group to see who would be pusillanimous, and who would be the bully.
I applied online. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market
Interview
Applied online on their website. A few days later a manager from store left me a message to call her. I did several times and there was no voicemail to leave a message or a email to reply to. This is a very poor way to recruit candidates.
