Business Outlook
Pros
I started out as a part-time dog trainer, but went to full time in a few months. I learned so much about people, selling and most of all, how to handle dogs. Petsmart supplied all the things I needed and I will always be grateful for the opportunity to learn. For the most part, I loved all my co-workers and I felt like part of my local community, everyone knew me and my dogs. I will always look back fondly at my Petsmart years.
Cons
Even though I loved being a dog trainer, working for Petsmart, the low pay, the constant changing of the dog training curriculum, the unrealistic sales goals set for low-income areas and the mind-numbing middle management interference made me bail out after almost nine years at Petsmart.
