Got called by an assistant store manager to interview, which I found odd. Interview was done by assistant store manager and store manager while the pharmacy district manager eavesdropped and worked on her computer in the corner.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing about my background or experience.
All behavioral questions that came from a sheet. Most had nothing to do with being a pharmacist. I was asked about industry trends, keeping up with competitors, how have I “innovatively” coached someone. I walked out of there having no idea what the heck had just happened.

Was able to schedule my interviews quickly and they were very responsive to emails. They asked very basic questions about your background as well as your motivations for applying. The recruiters were very nice and easy to talk to.
There were behavior based interview questions, tell me about yourself, strengths and weaknesses. Usually with a pharmacy and store manager. Maybe with a district manager. A tour is given if interview is in person.
Interview process was really easy - they ask basic questions for any normal pharmacist job and a routine screening. I worked at Walgreens as an intern for most of my college years so there wasn't much additional screening for hiring as a pharmacist.
