I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (San Diego, CA) in May 2018
Interview
This series of interviews was honestly one of the most laid back ones that I've been through, though I did have to be proactive and call to ask about the status of my application a few times - once for the initial app, and then another time to ask about the status of my drug test.
First interview was over the phone with the salon manager, who was really goofy and easy to get along with. Second interview was in-store with a manager and the salon manager, but the other manager ended up leaving to do something so it was just one on one with the salon manager. For both of these, they basically just ask you the standard formulaic interview questions - bonus points if you mention having pets. The third and "hardest" interview was with the store manager, who had us walk around the store and role play as "associate" and "customer" for different scenarios.
The store manager asked me if I was okay with taking a drug test right after the drug interview, and emailed me a background check form. At this point, as long as you pass both, you're good to go! I'm going in for on-boarding tomorrow, after a total of nearly three weeks. Again, you really have to be on top of things, asking about your applications and whatnot to show interest.

Question 1
Describe a time that you went above and beyond for a customer.
Describe a time that you had a disagreement with a co-worker, or caught them doing something against workplace rules. How did you resolve the situation?
Applied online and interviewed with manager in person at the store. She asked standard questions, like why I want to work there and what my strengths are. After that I was invited to interview with the manager of the grooming salon.
I recently attended a job interview and had a generally positive experience. The interview process was well organized, and the interviewer was professional and polite. The questions were clear and relevant to the position. The atmosphere felt respectful, although slightly formal. Overall, it was a valuable experience that allowed me to better understand the role and expectations.
Not great claimed I showed up late even though we spoke the night before and I put it immediately in my phone. I’m on time to everything. Interview was not enagaging, and they didn’t seem interested in interviewing.
