Normal interview questions. Was very easy going and laid back. I wore dark jeans and still got the job so I’d say dress code is also super laid back. 10/10
Recieved a call for interview after a week, interview was quick and easy. They love to see your personality and excitement for animals. Tell them about personal goals or if you have school plans.
During my interview I met with the general manager and it was a 30-minute interview approximately, it was laid back. I received an offer at the end and I accepted it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Petco (La Quinta, CA) in Oct 2022
Interview
It is very straightforward with its questions, mostly just asking about how well I am at selling and if I owned any type of pet in my life. Manager mostly read from a sheet.
