Colloquio
Lengthy online application process. Slow response to resume submission and vague e-mail "rejection" if not considered for a job. Several interviews with various hiring managers. Sometimes months before the applicant hears anything and often hear nothing if not being offered the job. Internal applicants are not given consideration over external applicants. Pay offered is low-average.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Walgreens (Deerfield, IL) nel mese di gen 2016
Colloquio
First I had a phone interview, someone from the home office reached out to me to set that up. Once I successfully passed that, then I was scheduled to interview in-person with the person I would have been reporting to.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
I spoke to another girl from my MBA cohort who interviewed for the same role the day before me but they were hiring a few people - she gave me some tips and tried to provide helpful info - she said it was a great interview overall, she already confirmed she got the position - she said the guy she interviewed with was great and he didn't ask her anything too difficult. Then I had my interview... I am not saying this because I did not get the role (I am happy I didn't get it, it wasn't a good fit anyway) - but what is very clear is that the man who interviewed me was absolutely biased (in favor of females ) based on the information my friend from business school provided. He asked me an entirely different series of questions, and in a pretentious, arrogant manner. I know this for a fact because he asked me "How much in sales do you think we do in just the candy department, company-wide for all of Walgreens??" What seems like a simple question - is often a trap - with this sort of question, the interviewer is looking to understand the way a person rationalizes or works through a problem, or if they even pause to rationalize it at all. Some just shoot from the hip and throw out a number (not good), you don't have to get the question right - what the interviewer is simply looking for to see how you think and how your brain works - if you can back your way into a somewhat reasonable estimate (ex: GDP growth for the entire US was 4% last year, and people spent less than 2-5% on discretionary, recreational spending etc.) When I asked my friend from my MBA cohort if she was asked the "candy" question or anything similar, she was shocked he asked me something that difficult - and she said she absolutely was not asked something like that.
