- The last position I applied for was a summer internship with Kroger’s general merchandising team. The application process was very smooth and straightforward. I heard about the job posting from looking on Handshake and I met all the requirements. There were very fast follow-ups which kept me interested and excited about the position. The first step was a phone screening to get an idea of who I was and what their company culture was like. After that, there was an in-person interview that was very convenient at Austin Hall. The employee interviewing me was professional and personable, which made me feel comfortable. I left the interview feeling excited about the position and hoping for the best. The third and final step was going to the Portland office and getting a tour as well as a final interview with our potential teams.
- For me, throughout the application process, I loved the people I was meeting. Every encounter I had was personable and I clicked with everyone I met in the company. They also made everything very simple. Kroger has been doing the internship for years so they had the process down. When I was able to meet the other applicants I was relieved because we were all different but so similar at the same time. During the application process, I got the impression that Kroger cares about its employees. The relationship that the people have within this company are personal and fun. Throughout the process, I felt that it would be a great fit and they made me feel very confident in my decision in the end.
