Pros

For a retail job, the majority of customers that come in are friendly and happy to be there. They are shopping for an animal they love and that induces the happiness all in itself. Getting to see and interact with cute dogs and cats on the daily is great.

Cons

90% of the employees are part time and will never advance out of that. Benefits for part time? Nope. Time off for part time? how does 15 hours a year sound. That's petsmart for you. They will work you 1 hour less than their full time managers and give you nothing while giving them all the benefits and bonuses earned off of your hard work and effort. You will never have a day where everything runs smooth. Everyday is a struggle to play catch up in store operations.

Pros

15% off purchases in store, customers arent as bad as other places

Cons

Home office asks way to much from management. No real clear business plan anymore. Too many critical priorities that change weekly.

Pros

Interaction with animals, great pay!

Cons

New ownership is chaotic and unfocused. Ever since PetSmart was sold to BC Partners, it has been a nightmare working environment. They've turned the aquarium into a shark tank!
