I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at PetSmart (Bolingbrook, IL) in Sept 2015
Interview
Met store manager and he asked me for a copy of my resume and asked about my previous job and why I want to have this position. He described what I would be doing and introduced me to a couple of the groomers on staff who were very nice. I asked how much it pays and he kind of beat around the bush but ended up telling me 9.20 later on. He also described cross training in other departments and the possibilities of me moving up. I was hired on the spot.

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.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at PetSmart (New York, NY) in Feb 2020
