      Pet Care Associate Interview

      Jul 4, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Cerritos, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Cerritos, CA) in Jun 2012

      Interview

      I applied on PetSmart online and with each application you have to submit, you have to take a personality test. I applied to several PetSmarts and got called in for an interview for all of them and even offered a job at new opening that I didn't apply for. They said they loved my personality test. I only went to the one I was most interested (the new opening) and she scheduled an interview for me next week at the Mariott Hotel and it was very pretty, very professional. I went to the 7th floor where the interviews took place and the manager sat with me right away and asked me several scenario questions which weren't very hard but I would recommend looking these questions up and practicing like I did. After the interview she sat me down at a bench watching a PetSmart introduction video, but I wasn't sure I got the job because other managers were doing interviews and everyone sat there. I was then called in to speak to another Interviewer, she was a manager at a different PetSmart and asked me generally the same questions as the first one, but I was caught off guard when she asked me to sell this post it notes to her, and I didn't know how then she said she'll be calling everyone mid next week with their decisions I got called next Monday with a congratulations and that I was chosen :) but as a Guest Service Associate at the Pet's Hotel instead of a PetCare Associate which disappointed me greatly because I really wanted a lot of interaction with animals more than people but I took what I can get.

      Pretty standard interview that you can expect from an hourly paying job. You may interview with as many as 2 managers depending on the job, and the interviews length is pretty standard.
