I found an ad online (I think on Simply Hired, but I don't recall exactly) that informed me Banfield was searching for a Pet Care Assistant. I submitted my resume online after reading a summary of the position's requirements. I had previous veterinary experience and felt qualified to apply as a PCA. It only take a couple of days before the practice manager called me and said she was interested in scheduling an interview. A few days later, I arrived at the hospital for my interview. There were several clients in the waiting area, so it took a few moments before I was helped. The practice manager was conducting other interviews that ran a little late. She apologized and invited me into one of the exam rooms. She asked me what I knew about Banfield, my previous job experience, and what expectations I had (salary, hours, job requirements, etc). She was very pleasant, honest, and professional. She told me about Banfield, what my position entailed, and even shared the story of how she became involved in the company. She asked if I had any questions, and I responded with a few inquiries I had. After that, she lead me on a tour throughout the hospital and introduced me to the other associates. Everyone was very friendly. When the interview concluded, the practice manager offered me an opportunity to observe the hospital over the weekend. I accepted. My observation lasted a few hours, and afterwards the practice manager offered me the position. I accepted. Once my background check came back clear, I began training with a wonderful team.

Honestly very unprofessional. The interviewer made fat phobic comments and seemed to not be interested in any of the answers to the questions I provided. She seemed to have her mind made up from the moment I walked in. She said things like "you know this job will require you to move" as if I wouldn't be able to. It was very offensive. She also did not keep conversation going, and continually just didn't say anything after I answered one of her questions. She also offered $15, which is minimum wage in my state. It was a lot of responsibility, bloodwork, vaccines, etc., for as much as I could make at somewhere with less stress.
