Pros

A great, fun working enviornment where teamwork is a priority. There is excellent compensation (most stylists in this salon earn between $35,000 and 60,000 a year), great benefits, and support from both the salon manager (who has a TON of experience and has been with the company over 15 years) and the managers in the store. I like the flexibility of being able to transfer to another petsmart if I ever want or need to move to another state also.

Cons

There is a lot to do, and a Full time receptionist would be nice and seemingly more efficient. Also, working weekends and holidays is tough, but it IS retail!

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
