I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Petco (Avon, OH) in Sep 2014
Interview
The SM from Avon is very nice and professional. He called me about six months after applying, asking me if I was still interested in the position. As long as it would get me out of my current position I was stoked. Granted it was a long time since I applied maybe the position has high turnover. He was a refreshing interviewer. Very personal and genuine. We both have the same vision and beliefs so the interview went smoothly. He called me an hour after my interview asking me to apply on the website and take the assessment. I did take it and a week later he asked me to come back for a 2nd interview with the DM. In that interview with the DM he was a little hard to understand; with a few questions that are listed below in regards to those unexpected questions. The process is still pending as I just did my 2nd interview last wednesday.
