I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Petco (Portsmouth, NH) in Feb 2017
Interview
Relaxed and professional. My managers were friendly and asked very direct questions. It seemed like a supportive interview that was willing to accept my contribution and desire to work at their location. Seemed to show flexibility and accepting of people who previously have not much experience. Experience is helpful, but they seem willing to start with someone new to working as long as they understood the job and could jump right in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at Petco? How would you handle conflict? Are you good with people? Are you a faster learner?
This started as an open group interview, that then moved to individual interviews. The group process happened in the front of the store, with the individual process moving to the office. Overall quick and painless.
It was pretty easy. The interviewer asks questions provided by Petco. My interview was short as the interviewer wanted it to go quick, but I don't believe this is the norm. Many questions are related to having a previous job.

Question 1
Are there any animals you are uncomfortable handling?
It was easy just talk about how you are with animas. I had experience so I just talked about that and they were very happy to hear about it. So don’t worry
