I applied for assistant store manager. Was called a month later to interview with store manager the following day. When I arrived store manager did not know I was scheduled for a interview. I offered to reschedule. Store manager told me we still could do the interview and guided me to his office. Once in his office he told me that he only had a lead position available which was a significantly lower in pay and a step backwards in career. Once I turned it down he then let me know about other retailers in the area that are hiring and explained that Petsmart was not that great to work for. Overall bad experience.
Initial screening: Resume review and phone screen. Assessment: Skills test or task. Interviews: Multiple rounds, panel or 1:1. Behavioral questions, technical assessments, and culture fit evaluation. Reference checks. Final offer.
