Pros

The only positive aspects to this job is that you get discounts on petsmart products and you get to work with animals...

Cons

There is always drama no matter what. Get ready to face employees that do not care about animals and provide customers with the wrong information. Working here was fun for the first week. It gets extremely tedious and repetitive. Customers are exceptionally rude, there's a lot of favouritism, many employees here have absolutely no personal skills or pet care expertise. If you are new, you will get blamed for a lot of stuff you didn't do. Just an overall extremely toxic environment and management could not care less. Employees assume they know everything and as a result, they give wrong information. This has lead to numerous casualties due to pure negligence and ignorance.

Pros

The staff care a lot and try their hardest but it leads to burn out and being taken advantage of by a company the does not care about YOU.

Cons

Poor management. No work life balance. Bad scheduling. Bad pay. No communication. Leads expected to work more than 10 hours a day during high volume periods, Be responsible for too many things. You run around like a chicken with it's head chopped off the whole time you're at work. Staff are snippy, and rude. A few are okay. Company has you working bare bones, and does not care. Pet parent's are weird, and I don't think have realistic expectations that the boarding facility is more like dropping your dog off at a dog shelter for a week while you go on vacation than a "fun time" for your dog. Dogs get fed, watered, pottied. If that is all you care about, then use the PetHotel. If you want your dog to have fun, and be out of a stressful environment (few dogs do well with constant barking and noise all day, plus being stuck in a cement run, thrown in with a bunch of other dogs who have never been properly socialized) just do in home boarding. I would never board my dog at a place like this.
