      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Petco (Tampa, FL) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      I applied on 3/7, got called about 3 weeks later for an interview that week, and was offered the job the next day. The interview was probably the most relaxed interview I've ever had. It was a group interview with me and 1 other person. The store, grooming, and customer service leaders/managers were there. The managers were all very nice, and you could tell that they all loved animals and that was why they loved their jobs so much. We sat in the front of the store in a circle and they asked really basic questions. After they asked us if we had any questions and then they showed us around the salon. We grouped one last time at the end, they asked us if we had anymore questions, and then told us that they would let us know the following week.
