Pros

I liked working at PetSmart because of the great co-workers, good customers overall, flexible management, and good company ethics.

Cons

Stocking shifts start as early as 3-4 AM so be prepared to wake up early if you're on stock crew. Pet care shifts start at 6 AM as well. A computerized scheduling system is used and frequently schedules associates very short shifts (3 hrs) which can be frustrating.

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.
