Pros

The people there are great and almost always friendly. You gain a lot of knowledge about the products and animals you sell.

Cons

The downsides of working at PetsMart are some of the hours.Also the managers do not know about everything in the store like they are supposed to

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
