..casual. it's a who you know not what you know place for hireAnswered 6 December 2018Every Manager has a different way of hiring. The standard is a phone interview with a different manager and an in person interview with the manager of the store you are applying. There are a series of standard retail related questions. During my interview they had me demonstrate my attention to detail by asking me to point out the differences on certain product packages and had me properly stock the shelf with the same items. After you are hired they take time to train you for everything.

Answered 7 December 2018Pretty basic questions from out of the stone age. Telephone prescreen is an overview of the in store interview.....typically a 2nd interview via telephone is done by another manager to give a second opinion on any candidate the hiring manager is interested in.
Answered 23 January 2020There are pros and cons to every retail job. Pet Valu provides their employees with awesome resources and great training on their products. Every owner is different, however, any store that I know of offers item discounts to their employees. Lots of dogs come in to visit/shop and a lot of stores have an in-store cat up for adoption. You are guarenteed at least 10 hours a week and get a 30 minute lunch if you work more than 5 hours during a shift as per government regulation. Sometimes things can get frustrating due to having smaller staff sizes (harder to get time off when you need it) and unreasonable customers... but this is no different than other small retail jobs.
