I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at H E B (Houston, TX) in Sept 2015
Interview
First round: group interview. I sat in the very front so they would notice me and I volunteered early in the group for the speaking activities. We each had to stand up and answer: What position we wanted the most; experience in food, grocery, or customer service; and picked either to talk about our favorite recipe or a time you or someone who was serving you went above and beyond their duty. Then we worked in groups and each received a customer service scenario that we had to say what we would do as an HEB employee in that situation.
Second round: one-on-one interview with a manager. Pretty difficult questions for a grocery store, but not too bad. Questions such as a time we had to work with someone difficult, had to re-prioritize based on new/hard work assignments, etc. Basic behavioral interview questions that appear on most interview prep sites. There were at least 10 which seemed like a lot.
This location is fairly new and offered 10.25 minimum starting for cashiers. I had no prior experience specifically but have a college degree and money handling experience.
I let them know it was a second job for me and they seemed very open to working with schedules. Availability and scheduling is done online to prevent overlooking someones request.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How have you handled a disagreement with a superior?
very easy basic questions. they had an example bagging question of how would you bag these 2-4 items together and it’s mostly common sense. interview was quick maybe took 15 minutes max
It was thorough and simple. They really cared about the company and wanted the best people for that job. Very delighted to work for this company. I no longer work here but the brotherhood you get from this company is not like any other
