I applied online. I interviewed at Petco (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
I met with the store manager for the interview. Prompt with interview time and gave the opportunity to explain my background and how I would be valuable to the position. Talked about the objectives that I would be managing and the daily tasks responsible for. The conversation was very transparent and I felt confident in knowing what to expect and how long the onboarding and training period would be.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Petco (Santa Rosa, CA) in Jul 2021
Interview
Filled out application online, then got a call the next day, and got hired on the spot. They didn't really ask any questions, just explained what the job entailed. I asked if they needed any information for background check, or references and they said no which should of been a red flag to how desperate they were.
