I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PetSmart in May 2009
Interview
It was pretty basic. I arrived about 15min early had to wait an additional 10min or so. Went into the office was asked the basics why do you want to work here, what are your long term goals, tell me about your prior exp. after talking for about an hour we took a tour of the store and got mild background on what my position would consist of talked wages and left with the ability to think over the offer and call back the next day
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Reno, NV) in Oct 2013
Interview
First, there was a screening interview with a very professional HR Manager (nice lady). Then, there was a 30 minute test dealing with words meaning, basic math. One week later, I interviewed by a GM.
The interview was focused my job/skill interests AND the manager wanted to understand in great detail why I had left my last two employers. The GM got "stuck" on why I left each of my former employers which had a average stay time of 6 years each. He seemed want to understand motives.
There as very direct questions regarding what shifts I would be interested in working. I was asked what I liked most about working for X company.
I was asked questions about dealing with difficult people, improving employee satisfaction, and improving a process. Interviewer wanted examples....
Petsmart has had the opportunity open for several months and still has yet to make a decision any another candidate. If you are looking for a job in 60 days you are wasting your time interviewing at the DC level.

The interview was focused my job/skill interests AND the manager wanted to understand in great detail why I had left my last two employers. The GM got "stuck" on why I left each of my former employers which had a average stay time of 6 years each. At one point, I heard myself saying "let's get on with the interview."
