I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Safeway (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2013
Interview
The interview was quick and easy, i applied around the time they were striking so when the strike did not happen i got automatically hired. It took about 7 days to actually get hired and i had to keep coming back to the store for training and missing information. I applied to be a cashier but was thrown into the bakery because the previous associate had quit.
It was fast and easy, very proactive people and organized. On the first day I received the call, and I was happy about it. They hire fast. If in the first 2 weeks you don't receive a call, check again.
Didn't ask any hard questions, just when availability was and if was over 18 (in order to be cashier). Didn't have to wait long to be called into the office.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Vallejo, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
When I came in for the interview, I was brought back to the office. We went over previous work scenarios and how I handled them. I was given a choice between two departments. I received an offer letter then and there.
