      Assistant Manager Interview

      Jun 1, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Petco

      Interview

      I was promoted from within so the interview process was pretty quick and easy because I was already known. I did make sure to come prepared with all of my inventory numbers (I was inventory manager at the time). And I had thought ahead about my areas of opportunity. This was also for a new position all together (but considered to be at the assistant manager level) so the interview was over the phone and no one in upper management really seemed to know what to ask or what was to be expected.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Since they didn't really know what to expect with the new endeavor, the interview consisted with questions of my management experience and how the weather was in my area versus theirs.
