Applied online for "Associate Team Leader," got called in for an interview a week later...for a different job I didn't apply for.
First interview was with an Associate Team Leader. Pretty basic questions. Biggest strengths, weaknesses, what would you last boss say, blah, blah, blah.
A few specific grocery retail questions: importance of rotating stock, preventing shrink/loss, what does GMO and organic mean. Real no-brainer stuff if you've ever worked in grocery.
Got called back for a second interview less than a week later. More of the same, but the Team Leader that interviewed me actually gave me a tour of the store. Asked the me about "gluten free diets" then got confused when I started talking about Celiac Disease. Not a good sign... Ended with a typical, "more people to interview, we'll let you know."
Literally an hour later I got an automated email saying I wasn't being considered for the position any longer.
Never got a response on the job I actually applied for. Oh well.
A college degree and six years in grocery retail management doesn't seem to go a long way to the folks at this Whole Foods.
