PetSmart

I recently accepted a position as a Customer Engagement Manager at Petsmart. I did research on sites like Glassdoor, Zippa, and Indeed concerning average salary. According to all 3 sites, it is around $80k a year. Is this an accurate assessment, or are they being extremely generous. Because they're offering me $46k a year.

      Pros

      Lovley Co workers, helping pet parents

      Cons

      Retail lol, not to much other than angry pet parents when they can't get the pet they want or the food they want because we don't carry it or it's not the right environment for a fish or reptile.

      Project Coordinator

      I recently had an interview with a hiring manager. The conversation went well in my opinion and they ended it by saying they would “like to schedule a day for me to meet their team and get a feel for the projects they’re working on and then have the conversation about what I’m looking for as far as compensation.” I’m not sure what to expect from this, a part of me feels like this means they might want me for the role, but the process is a little unorthodox from my experience. Any thoughts?
