I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Publix (Chattanooga, TN) in May 2010
Interview
first, I went to the store and applied for a position. They took about 3 weeks to call me back on a wednesday for an interview. They first wanted me to do the interview that same Friday, but due to the early time they wanted me to come in, they rescheduled it to monday. The interview process was eay and straight to the point. The manager asked me questions such as why I left my last job, what makes me want to work for publix. Then he asked me details about all my other employers, and why I left each job. Then he proceeded to offer me the job. Immediately after this, he administered the drug screen. In about 3 days, they called me back to begin my training. Ever since then it has been golden.
Organized and flowed well. Interviewer answered all questions I had for them and more. It was timely and follow process was fast and efficient. Great experience overall went well. Second interview involved job offer.

Question 1
What was a situation where you worked well in a team situation?
Easy process. Easy questions. Asked a lot about prior experiences and what i could bring to the table. Asked about schedule and availability as well all of which led to the personality questions.

Question 1
Tell me when you turned around a negative situation.
First, you have to take an online assessment during the application and then you get scheduled for an in-person interview if they like your responses. The assessment was pretty lengthy and had a variety of customer service and situational questions, and the interview was pretty serious for the low level position I was taking.
