I applied online. I interviewed at Sam's Club (Lafayette, LA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Applied online through Indeed since the position was only posted through there and not the Walmart careers website. After a few days, I received a phone call from a manager at the local Sam's club asking me if I would like to set up an interview at the store. Attended the interview and it was about 30 minutes total. Although I have 7 months of retail experience, an Associates and Bachelors degree, and management/leadership experience, he told me at the end of the interview that I will not be getting the position due to lack of retail management experience. Although the manager was friendly, I hate wasting time when he could have simply not chosen me for an in-person interview if he knew he wasn't going to hire somebody without experience. I met all of the job qualifications and you only need an Associate's to apply. I read other reviews that offered the position even without retail experience. I guess this particular location was just extremely picky about experience. Not sure if I'd ever apply for a position with this company again due to his suggestion that I could be a great fit for an hourly role.
There’s an online pre interview test, then you’ll meet with the manager in person for the first interview, followed by a panel of interviewers via zoom for the second interview.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sam's Club
Interview
I was at a career fair and they were doing on-the-spot interviews. I was interviewed by two people who had been working at the company for 5+ years, and the manager of the club I was applying for. It was more like a conversation than an interview, very informal. We were laughing and joking. They looked for enthusiasm and energy.
