Pros

The fact that you can go to grooming academy with a 2 year contract, and a discount on dog food.

Cons

The lack of support from managers, awful hours, always under staffed with an extremely high turnover rate, sudden 'policy' changes without warning, The company used to be a good place to work for, but is going downhill at a rapid rate. They care more about their 'business' than your family. They take out sales and promotions from your paycheck if you are a groomer.

Pros

When I started PetSmart really had a culture which was focused on the well being of pets and pet parents, particularly the associates at the store locations.

Cons

After the buy out and privatization of the company much of the staff changes, the leadership changed. As the company transitioned through the change from public to private, much of the focus turned to mechanic of the business and running the business "by the numbers". As the privatization happened in the early part of 2015 many HQ staff were let go and many others subsequently left over the ensuing months.
