Petco Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Straight forward interview process with a 1:1 discussion to start followed by a panel interview with colleagues and the hiring manager. The company is split across 2 corporate locations - San Antonio and San Diego - so much of the process happens with video calls or conference calls.

Negotiation Details – No negotiations available - hr dictated the bands and terms - hiring manager was not involved.

Interview Details – The hiring process was easy. I went in, sat down in the front lobby and answered some work related questions, then got hired 2 days later.

Negotiation Details – We would like to offer you the positon starting next week. The base commission will be 45% to start or hourly back up of 8.00

Interview Details – Submitted app online. Received a call to schedule a group interview. Arrived to the store for the interview and was told that because there was only going to be two applicants that it would be individual now. I went in first because i was the only one on time. Only asked about hours i would be willing to work and what i wanted to do in the future.

Interview Details – Honestly, this had to be one of the most unprofessional interview I have ever been to. The manager was rude and asked me how fashion school was going to benefit me in life. It was me and two other guys and she didn't bother to listen to any of us, basically told us she was uninterested.

Interview Details – Applied on the website. Got an interview about a month later. They called me to set an interview for the next day. The manager was extremely nice and asked me about my past work experiences. We talked about animals, pay, hours, and day to day activities. I was hired right there.

Reason for Declining – I was hired at another company with higher pay and also a full time position. Petco was only part time.

Interview Details – I was supposed to be hired for cashier...and that was the title I was going in for. I was not aware it was going to be for a new store. But the manager pretty much called in a bunch of people and interviewed us at another location. It was one on one, and they pretty much tried to intimidate you a bit.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation more like take it or leave it.

Interview Details – Applied online & received contact from HR department, set up phone interview for following week. Approx. 30 min phone interview took place. Went in for in person interviews approx. 3 weeks later. Had multiple interviews within one day. Did not receive feedback in terms of positive or negative or when the position would be filled. Was only to reach out to HR department for follow-up. Received a request for a background check and personality test. Was to complete all items within 7 days. Received great marks on background check (must have at least 5 contacts complete the background check for you - "regarding your skills / work ethic"). Did not receive any update from Petco in regards to them receiving my survey and background check successfully. Had to follow-up with HR department numerous times to ensure all items were completed and received successfully (I was concerned about technical issues in their system). Did not receive any communications from HR in terms of updates on hiring process and if I remained a candidate. Finally received generic email stating that I "did not receive the position" but it was unclear as to why and if they had hired someone else or if position was just no longer needed. Very cold from company that requested so much of a candidate in terms of time as well as having candidate handle all follow-ups for any progress. I understand that not all applicants with interviews receive a position, but just thought a phone call or personalized email to notify me as a candidate would have been more appropriate.

Interview Details – Only asked specific questions about past experience and if I saw myself being there long-term.

Negotiation Details – Wasn't given one. Asked for $11 an hour, since my last job ended at $10.39 an hour, they didn't tell me what my pay would be until I was sitting down doing training. It ended up being $9 an hour.

Interview Details – Pretty easy, Very understanding and was looking for Dependable people. talk about hours and dates and what the company does on a day to day basis. Work on day one of the interview because I guess the needed people.
