Pros

this is a good place to wrok if you like interaction with the dogs that come in or the small animals but thats bout all that is good with petsmart

Cons

MANAGEMENT SUCKSS!!!!! they love to play favoritism. at least at my store. Also if they dont want you to work there anymore they will cut your hours so you will quit and cant get uneployement. thats what they are doing to me. and if you ask for more hours they will tell you there isnt hours to give but then hire 3 new ppls and give them 25 to 30 hours. and expect to learn everything on your own because the trainning sucks... all they do is give you books that doesnt tell you everything you need to know....and if you want to be a full time employee dont expect that with petsmart.. theres only 1 full time employee at my store thats not management.

Pros

15% off whole store 50% proprietary brands Petting animals Friendly customers Almost never declines requested days off

Cons

Must have min one weekend day available No room for growth very hard to become full time Must make requests a month in advance even thought the schedule come out Thurs/fri for the following week, shifts can be unpredictable Coworkers with seniority have “better” shifts Scrubbing tanks may have you armpit deep They say everyone is equal and gets paid the same but not everyone put in the same effort, ex: some people don’t do pet care at all or never close or never work truck days
