I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Washington, DC) in Jan 2013
Interview
Fairly fast, and easy. Hired within the month - I applied online and had a callback within a week. When you apply, several stores recieve your application - I got a call back from three stores; the first two never returned my phone calls. The third set up and interview at the end of that week. I waited for an hour, because the store was so busy. The person hiring me had to help customers, and answer the phones before she could sit down with me. Throughout the interview she had to stop and answer the phone. This didn't both me, because it was obvious this was because the company under-staffed, not that she wasn't doing her job correctly.
Straightforward, and the company human resources person as well as their manager were both highly effective in requesting the required information necessary to ensure the determination of all of the relevant facts pertaining to my potential employment.
Went to the store got an interview asked for manager and it was fine. simple but the place is not good to work for. Was not a good experience and I will not go back in to even shop
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Safeway (Cheney, WA) in Jul 2018
Interview
My availability was the most important aspect of the job and being time. Understanding the customers and learning to help others when needed. Always go to the manger if you don’t know what your doing.
