Pros

You get to be around great customers and if you like animal...this is the place. You get a 20% discount on all products.

Cons

As a manager you do not have the ability to manage the way you need to. You must do "EVERYTHING" the Petsmart way. Their way is thought up in a bubble away from the real world. They give you no hours to do all the extra things they pass down from corp.

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
