I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Petco
Interview
They asked me to complete a loop of 5 people quickly within 2 weeks. Last interview asked me to go to a store and email feedback which I went out of my way to do because I was very interested in the job. No response back. No one ever bothered to get back to me even when I emailed them and the recruiter. It’s fine if they weren’t inclined but at least give people the courtesy of a response. Waste of time.

two hiring mangers different departments made it frustrating to taylor answers to the business. i would have preferred two interviews to answer questions specifically to them, to be honest enough
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Petco (Newington, CT) in Dec 2014
Interview
Multiple questions based on experience with merchandising and guests. Go prepared, don't skip questions and don't say "ummmm." If it's your first job and you have no guest experience use school as a way to answer questions about team work.
