      Dog Bather Interview

      Jul 26, 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Pittsburgh, PA
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Pittsburgh, PA) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      The interview was very short and comfortable. They asked me some questions about my experience and expectations, offered me an hourly rate ($3 lower than what I asked), instructed me on the drug test and told me they would call me. But when they hired me they offered me a completely different position than the one I interviewed for (Pet Care Specialist instead of Dog Bather). I got my desired position only after five months of working there.
