I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PetSmart (Clarksville, TN) in Apr 2016
Interview
Started out as a group interview, everyone got called on to say their name and why they want to work at PetSmart. Then those of us applying to be a bather went to meet the salon manager. It was very easy going, we got to ask questions and since the salon manager likes the three of us applying she asked how interested we were, and if we were comfortable taking a drug test.
canceled my interview same day, after making a huge deal about when it would be. they called me 20 minutes before I was supposed to be there to tell me nevermind.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PetSmart (Santee, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Good starting pay $15.25, but its normally $15. Wanted to be a stocker, but was convinced to work as a bather being told I could get full time. Lies! I was not told I was going to be starting out as part time and that id be having to wait months at a time to become a groomer, which is a 2 year contract. Only then your full time. This would be fairly okay, if I didn't have my hours cut so much after the holidays. Thats why they wanted me in the salon in the first place.
