I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walmart in May 2016
Interview
Interviewed with 3 people who would be reporting into the position, thought it went well. Then interviewed with 2 more people together which was good and 2 more people separately. One of them was the person who was in the position and was leaving for a career change. I thought it was odd and felt the position may have caused her to leave. She asked if I understood that Walmart was the number 1 retailer and said she has big feet with big shoes to fill. I felt that she was not confident I would be the right fit.
Phone call, then interview with AGM HR, then with Site Lead and HR. I was pretty straight forward in that regard just ensuring that each step was made in alignment with my schedule.
I applied online. I interviewed at Walmart (Altoona, PA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Start by introducing yourself then they ask four to nine questions. Afterwards you are given the opportunity to ask questions about the job or company. They will follow up in a week or two and explain the outcome of the interview.
I got a referral, and HR scheduled the interview for the very next day. It was pretty straightforward. The recruiter called me from the store she was working at via Zoom, but she likely ran out of free Zoom minutes and switched to a phone call shortly after. She introduced herself and explained the job responsibilities before handing it over to me for a quick self-introduction. Most of the questions focused on my past experiences, especially around managing associates and my communication skills.
