The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Bedford, NH) in Jul 2017
Interview
I applied online after a referral from a friend. I received an email a few days later about scheduling a phone interview and it went well and shortly after (2-3 days) received another email about coming in for an interview later that day the lady interviewing me said she enjoyed it and wanted to hire me but would need to interview with two store leaders. it took about a week to meet with one of them (they were supposed to interview me together, while the other did not have time for me until probably another week later. the two store leaders did a half assed interview of not looking at me, just reading questions from a paper and writing down my answers and they both asked the same exact questions as each other so it was basically the same interview twice. about a month long process to then be denied in the end. a big waste of time
