I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Petco (Greenville, SC) in Jan 2015
Interview
I applied online months before, because it was for a location that wasn't built yet. A few weeks from the open date they brought in everyone for interviews. It was a pleasant experience. It took about an hour, and there were 5 of us doing it together. They basically went around and asked each of us the normal questions you ask in an interview. It was very laid back, and conversational.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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
