High turn over

Pros

Working with dogs was the only thing I enjoyed about this job.

Cons

There is a high turn-over rate here. They hire too many young immature kids who have no work ethic. It is no fun working after someone who slacks off and you have to finish what they did not do.

Pros

Working with the pets and the pet parents.

Cons

A completely different company since the buyout. Once was a company that CARED about the employees, pets and pet parents. It is now a company that does things "to" the customers and employees, where it once was a company that did things "for" them. Have never seen a greater disconnect between the corporate office (cost center) and the stores (profit centers). It's unfortunate that the senior leadership team is not interested in the opinions of the store teams, and as result, the things that they committed to addressing continue to be huge pain points that do not allow store teams to focus on the customer. Examples of this are pricing, supply chain, in stocks, product assortment, the minimizing of Science Diet (example of "to" the customer instead of "for" the customer), repeated mistakes in advertised prices, and the list goes on.

Pros

Salary for home office employees is competitive.

Cons

Management is horrible. They couldn't care less about you as a person. Everything comes down to what you give to them. PetSmart may brag that they are all about saving animals' lives, but that is all for the "optics". This does make sense, in that they are a retail corporation, but don't be fooled that it means anything more than that. Insurance premium is very high.
