I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Petco (Houston, TX) in Oct 2012
Interview
Was called in for a group interview with 2 guys and myself. Simple questions mostly, why'd you want this job. What sort of pets did/do you have. Any restrictions on hours or anything else going on in terms of work. Was called back for an additional interview which for me was pretty much a "You got the job, let's flesh out terms" interview but I'm not sure how much of that had to do with two of his workers talking nicely of me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Is there any animal you would not like to work with?
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
