I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Washington, DC) in Dec 2016
Interview
Went in after calling multiple times and they just asked when can I start. I was persistent to get the job and I believe it helped since the managers knew who my family was and that my brother used to work there as well.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Safeway (Daly City, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I spoke with HR Jennifer; she asked me questions, liked my resume and I was hired. I had to pass the drug test by putting sucker in mouth. I passed with a clean white sucker test on the spot.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Safeway (Silver Spring, MD) in Apr 2013
Interview
Quite swift, seemed desperate for employees as many come in and leave. They drug tested me the day of paper work with a swab in my mouth. The interviewer was kind and asked basic questions. I was slightly overdressed for interview; simple nice tucked clothes is better than business casual
