I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Banfield Pet Hospital in Oct 2015
Interview
Interviewed at a separate Banfield location before dropping off my resume (in person) at a seperate clinic. Both interviews were very pleasant. Banfield employees are very passionate about their work and clearly expect any new hires to show the same level of enthusiasm and compassion as they do. Banfield employees often keep up relationships with petsmart staff as well as petsmart staff helps Banfield with their business and vice visa.
Had one phone phone interview at one location, and an in-person interview at a different location. The in-person interview was held in one of the patient examination rooms. Very informal and easy going. Have an observational interview scheduled a few days out. With luck, I should land the job I desire!

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Banfield Pet Hospital (San Diego, CA) in May 2025
Interview
Easy interview with friendly staff! It took place in the break room with the hospital manager and a shift lead. It felt more like a conversation than a typical interview. The questions weren’t hard to answer and felt very relevant to the position.

Interview
First interview was with the practice manager and then with one of the doctors, the interview were straight forward. They want some sort of experience either related to working with animals or front desk/receptionist work experience. If you have neither they are willing to work with you so long as you have a cheerful demeanor and a "positive can-do" (which will fizzle away slowly with time trust me). The pay is not great, they will low ball you so be firm with what you want but also if you ask for too much they will pass. They have zero problem letting their current team suffer short-staffed indefinitely until they find someone they want for the role.
