The interview process was pretty simple. I got a call for an interview and went in the next day and met with one of the store supervisors. It was a basic interview with mainly behavioral questions.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Safeway in Dec 2025
Interview
Easy, 30 min process going over the jobs they have open. They then ask you simple questions like why do you want to work here, what are some problems you overcame with a team. They ask standard questions as well such as age and legal status.
It was generally easy to get through this interview. The interviewer was very nice, asked appropriate questions, and explained what the job would entail to a high degree of accuracy. Also gave valuable advice on what to do if I received the job.
