I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Petco (Stockton, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Applied online and got called for an interview about a week later. It was a group interview, although there was only one other applicant there with me, and she had previous work experience where I had none. Interview took place in the break room and was very casual, which I hear is typical, although I still dressed very well and would recommend it. A week after I received a job offer.
