Work Experience at Pets at Home?

I did a week of work experience at Pets at Home. This was over five years ago but I don't imagine that a lot will have changed.

It was the same as any retail position really. In the mornings we would help stock up the shelves after deliveries came in. The rest of the day was spent 'fronting up' the shelves (bringing stock to the front and making it look neat), helping customers to find things, and working the till. I didn't get to do much with the animals other than cleaning them out a few times... and scooping dead fish out of the tanks

They didn't make us wear the uniform and just asked us to wear dark coloured clothes. I wore a shirt and school trousers but I was definitely overdressed, the others came wearing hoodies and trackies. I imagine that this will vary between stores depending on what the manager deems as acceptable so it won't hurt to contact them beforehand to ask what they want

Best of luck, hope you enjoy it!

What Time Did You Go In For? And Do You Think It Is Alright To Wear A Checkered Shirt?

Thank You So Much For Your Fast Reply! I Have Work Experience Tomorrow And I Had Phoned Up Twice Before Hand, Which The Employees Had Told Me That I Could Come In At 7 And Finish At 2 Even Though It Says On My Paper Work To Come In At 9, Whats My Best Approach At This Situation?

Go in for 7:00 as that seems to be when they're expecting you. Worst case scenario is they think you've shown up two hours early so you look keen, that's better than showing up two hours late on your first day.
