I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Walgreens (Santa Clarita, CA) in May 2013
Interview
First you put in application to up to three locations then wait for a phone call. If you receive one you go in at your apps time sit with the manager talk about the posistion and what it entails. Then they ask questions on why you would like to work there. What work have you done before. What would you do in stressful situations. It's pretty simple just don't over analyze the questions just be yourself.

Many personality questions and work style questions
Straightforward and to the point. Not many difficult questions for an entry level job. There were not many questions in general and it was mostly focused on how to handle difficult customer interactions.
