Pluspunten

If you love animals, this is the place for you! I loved caring for the dogs and cats. In many ways this should be a dream job.

Minpunten

Since I was hired just over a year ago, the PetSmart store where I was employed terminated the employment of three senior managers. I am positive from their perspective there was just-cause for every termination. It became apparent to me just last week, when I learned that one had been fired, that the company held a very cavalier attitude about their employees, and I voiced this to my immediate manager. I was told not to let this concern me. Last week I made an error in judgment and I knew I would be reprimanded when I returned to work today. To my utter shock I was terminated. During this past year I was never, not once, late for work and I only missed maybe two or three days due to illness and was very considerate to give ample notice. I did not steal, nor defraud them in any way. My customer service record was stellar. Because I have witnessed ~zero~ loyalty to employees, I cannot recommend this company as a great place to work.

Pluspunten

The company pushes for more and more from the bottom level employees without better pay. I worked there before the restructuring and; not much can make me cry, but working here sure did, even back then. I can’t imagine how anxiety inducing it must be to work there now. Animal welfare is a complete non-concern. The only thing that’s pushed is sell, sell, sell. It’s borderline dystopian. Bad management seems to be a common issue, not only from my experience, but many others’ as well. I worked until I was an exhausted sweaty mess to make sure everything in pet care or, when I groomed, the salon, was cleaned to perfection as expected of me (and I reiterate: “me,” because these standards were not expected of my co-workers, just me) and overall felt very unseen. The only times I did feel “seen,” was when mistakes were made. Work was treated like boot camp. A co-worker that was subtley targeting/bullying me, and even started rumors accusing me of racist remarks(!!!), was promoted and anything I reported was downplayed because they were friends with the assistant manager. Working here was an overall traumatizing experience.

Minpunten

Employees are expected to be work-robots
