Pros

The PetSmart of five years ago no longer exists. The new owner is dismantling the culture bit by bit. I was laid off in the last round, and quite frankly, am glad to move on. I worked at PetSmart because I believe in the mission. The mission is in serious jeopardy. It's just another corporation.

Cons

The new management/owners...be sure of your intentions if you plan to work there. I'm sure they won't be around for very long and what will be left is anyone's guess.

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.
