Very informal. I suppose it will differ by site. Mostly concerned availability and any past research experience. I found my interviewer to be very easy going and enjoyed the process.

Question 1
Do you have experience tracking and maintaining Balance on Hand (BoH) metrics for retail goods?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at CVS Health (Hempstead, NY) in Nov 2011
Interview
I went to the store without prior notice at night. I chose a time when there wouldn't be too many people. They didn't ask me any questions about my abilities; rather, they told me I would have to be responsible and be patient and tolerate customers. They hired me on the spot, with Christmas retail season quickly approaching. 6-hour on-the-job training ensued, unpaid.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CVS Health
Interview
Quick 30 mins. Questions were the usual basic ones every job asks. They take you to the back room and into the lunch room and you are interviewed by the manager and their assistant.
