      An entry level job that leads to no where - Pet Care Specialist PetSmart Employee Review

      Pros

      The benefits package for the healthcare plan.

      Cons

      The managers are content with their positions therefore they are not advocates in recognizing lower level employees for promotions. The pay is horrible. The managers do not communicate the reasoning for hour cuts or the need for crosstraining. There is no type of "emotional intelligence" in management. We have employees begging to be moved up because they are now qualified (bachelor's degrees or better) for upper level employment.

      Pros

      If you have experience they can pay very well considering the size of the company. Depending on which store you are in, they can be pretty good at fostering a good environment and culture.

      Cons

      Company is primarily focused on sales and not customer experience. So expect a lot of metrics and hounding customers. Company is trying to be technologically forward but continues to neglect to invest in the technology. So there’s updates every week crashes every week with no communication around it.
