I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart
Interview
I had 2 interviews. The first was extremely casual, I talked to the manager of the pet salon about random things, she didn't really ask me any interview-like questions. The second interview was a typical interview. The two hiring managers talked with me and asked questions like "tell me about yourself", "describe a time when you..." etc. After the interview was over, the manager said she would be glad to hire me and then said i had 48 hours to complete a drug test. I did so. After a week had passed, I called PetSmart to make sure they got the results, and they said they hadn't. I called back again and the hiring managers weren't there, but the manager at the time said he would let them know I called. Needless to say, they never called me back despite the fact that I passed my drug test.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Santee, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Good starting pay $15.25, but its normally $15. Wanted to be a stocker, but was convinced to work as a bather being told I could get full time. Lies! I was not told I was going to be starting out as part time and that id be having to wait months at a time to become a groomer, which is a 2 year contract. Only then your full time. This would be fairly okay, if I didn't have my hours cut so much after the holidays. Thats why they wanted me in the salon in the first place.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at PetSmart (New York, NY) in Feb 2020
Interview
My first interview was with the assistant manager. He has a great personality. Felt welcomed right away. I have a 2nd interview monday with the store manager. The store manager called me and said I basically have the job, he is just required to do a customer service interview.
