Applied through an online website and was called within a week. Went in for an interview. The interview went really well since they offered me the position. They gave ms instructions on how to proceed with the hiring process and I completed them within a few days. However, after not hearing back from them, I called and emailed to see if anything was wrong. They ignored my emails and phone calls and after 3 weeks of trying to get a hold of them, they took back the offer because the budget was rejected. Since the position was a co-op position, I was almost too late to register for classes. My advice: Don't offer positions that don't exist, it makes the company look untrustworthy and unorganized.

Had an initial phone interview, followed by an informal face-to-face interview at a restaurant. Met with hiring manager and another teammate. Past Kroger experience (even as a cashier or warehouse worker) was highly valued.
