First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Customer Service Representative
The interview process was very drawn out. It took nearly three months from my initial contact to when I was finally hired. Even after receiving a job offer, there was a six-week waiting period before I could actually start. I had to constantly follow up with the manager to get a confirmed start date, and this pattern of seeming disorganization continued in other areas during my employment. The manager came across as quite scattered.

Customer Service Representative
It usually begins with a quick phone call where HR might inquire about your availability, any experience you have, and your reasons for applying. Following that, you might have one or more in-person or video interviews, typically with the store manager or a supervisor. Sometimes, they’ll include a role-playing part to see how you’d deal with customer issues. If you make it through the interviews, HR might ask for references or run a background check.
- How would you handle a customer seeking to return an item outside the return policy?
- What’s your approach when you’re occupied at the register but another customer requires assistance in a different section?
- Describe how you would manage a customer exhibiting disruptive behavior in the store, such as causing damage to merchandise.
Customer Service Representative
I dropped off my resume at the store and then got a call about two weeks later for an interview with a manager. The interview was pretty short, lasting only about 10 minutes, and it felt really easy. The questions were super straightforward, just the usual general behavioral questions you get in most interviews.
