      Should and could be inspiring, but not - Instructional Designer PetSmart Employee Review

      Pros

      Pet parents and their pets really do come first. You can make a real difference to pets' and peoples' lives every day. There's a true commitment to giving back to the community on many levels and they're finally tooting their own horn about it. Great colleagues and good benefits. The senior team is great.

      Cons

      There are so many layers of management and each layer has to make its mark. Lots of micromanaging people. Little recognition for lots of effort. Seems to be getting worse. Hard to move from one area of the business to another.

      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.
