Pros

PetSmart is a great company to work for. There is many chances for advancement as you become experienced and accelerate in your position. The company offers job security and competitive salaries.

Cons

The senior management's competency or lack there of, reflects on the entire store and becomes frustrating to other managers and associates. It is very hard to shine if leadership is poor.

Pros

Get to see many types of pets. Most pet parents are decent. Get to know regular customers and their pets. Coworkers were mostly nice.

Cons

Very little cashier support. If you had a huge line at the register and called for support, it took some time for someone to show up since there was usually about one other person working in pet care or stocking. The manager was usually trying to get new stock set up or on a phone call and the pet care person was usually busy doing five different things at once. Not enough hours in schedule so I decided it was not worth it to work only 10 hours per week even in the summertime. Had to clean up urine and feces even though "Oops" stations were provided. Being pushed to sell classes and get people to sign up for a Pet Perks card.
