Pros

Really almost everything at my job is great! Good pay (commission), work atmosphere is great (salon) and everything is fair. My only complaint is in the cons section.

Cons

Only bad thing I can say is that I have notice PetSmart has a problem with firing people. I have worked at two PetSmarts and I am not sure if it is a fear of the confrontation or the fear of discrimination, but there is employees that need to go for things that should not be over looked!

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.
