Pros

Good discount and decent pay. For retail, it's pretty good. I loved it until about a year and a half ago when an investment firm bought in and started turning it into every other corporate retail.

Kontras

The restructure means they just want bodies with open availability. I was working full time as a manager and because I don't have open availability I was demoted and lost full time. And we just had someone else have to step down for the same reason, single parent. Both of us have management experience... literally availability keeps us from even having enough managers to fill all the positions. I would have probably grown with the company but since they don't value me, it's not a company where I have any desire to dedicate myself to. I could be the poster child for the new values, but now they seem like empty words because I do not feel valued, appreciated, part of the PetSmart community. I scoff when the values are mentioned because unless you have open availability, nothing matters.

Pros

The pay was decent and you got tips occasionally the discounts were awesome especially if you own a dog. Training was thorough.

There was a bunch of high school drama amongst adults

Pros

The company pushes for more and more from the bottom level employees without better pay. I worked there before the restructuring and; not much can make me cry, but working here sure did, even back then. I can’t imagine how anxiety inducing it must be to work there now. Animal welfare is a complete non-concern. The only thing that’s pushed is sell, sell, sell. It’s borderline dystopian. Bad management seems to be a common issue, not only from my experience, but many others’ as well. I worked until I was an exhausted sweaty mess to make sure everything in pet care or, when I groomed, the salon, was cleaned to perfection as expected of me (and I reiterate: “me,” because these standards were not expected of my co-workers, just me) and overall felt very unseen. The only times I did feel “seen,” was when mistakes were made. Work was treated like boot camp. A co-worker that was subtley targeting/bullying me, and even started rumors accusing me of racist remarks(!!!), was promoted and anything I reported was downplayed because they were friends with the assistant manager. Working here was an overall traumatizing experience.

Employees are expected to be work-robots
