PetSmart reviews

-Not enough time to get all of the opening procedures done before the store opens, should really be given more than one hour. -Only one pet care associate works a single shift, can get very busy and you don't have enough time to give every person the adequate attention they deserve.

-Inflation will outpace your 15 cent annual raises by two or even threefold. -Promotion to middle management will still leave you hovering over minimum wage. -The company is unwilling to pay in labor for the quality of care that they request for the live animals. This forces the most honest and hard-working employees in Pet Care to cut corners and lie by omission routinely. -By alerting any level of management about the physical impossibility of following all policies and procedures due to insufficient labor, you immediately become both a troublemaker and also an inefficient worker. "If 1200 other stores can do it, why can't you?" Answer: They don't, I've worked in and asked employees in other stores. -Far too many of the live animals (particularly the rodents) die of a wide range of afflictions. This appeared to be a result of puppy-mill breeding conditions, not the in store medical care which is actually commendable. Still, it was not infrequent for over half of the Syrian hamsters to succumb to wet-tail within a week of delivery.)
