PetSmart benefits

Healthcare benefits as well as other benefit partnerships Petsmart has made with other companies are great.

How would you improve PetSmart's culture?

I would improve the disconnect between the store teams and the corporate management, some things being asked of stores teams are impossible to sustain with corporate expectations. corporate teams seem much happier with their roles than store teams.

What do you like best about PetSmart's CEO and the leadership team?

CEO and corporate leadership are all about the bottom line and do not care about how their teams are surviving at the store level, major disconnect. They need to take care of their people more if they plan on keeping experienced leadership in stores in place.

How did you prepare for the PetSmart interview?

I utilized my experience and skills to verse myself during the interview, at store level the interview process varies widely from leader to leader and can be a pretty basic interview

At the store leadership level and above the compensation is actually fairly competitive especially the longer you have been around and the more locations you have transferred to

I get experience caring for and medicating animals. I also have customer service skills and I am able to multi-task.

Cons of working at PetSmart

The drama. I rather come in laugh a little and do my job. I love my job, but when it comes to management they have a lot going on and they seem not to care how their employees feel.

PetSmart benefits

The discount we get on dog food and items in store. I also love the experience they have blessed me with. I also love that were a family more than just coworkers
