PetSmart reviews

-micromanagement hell -managers who just boss you around for no reason -your job may be to groom animals but they will stick you on the floor because it may be slow for a moment -no recognition of a job well done -nothing is ever good enough -its all about the money and not the pet's well being -if corporate is coming in, management is even worse -store management is very fake, and superficial -the main store manager rarely left the office instead they would monitor employees on the surveillance cameras, and be as nit picky as taking a 16 minute break rather than a 15 minute break could get you written up -abuse of power from managers -random meetings at 5am in the morning on sundays -many crazy customers but thats seriously the least of your worries -get in trouble if the phone rings more than twice -random bs paperwork to do on every pet for NO reason -you have to force products on clients who don't want them, until they say yes -ridiculous sales goals so that the salon manager can get their bonus -corporate would rather u get bit than allow you to muzzle an aggressive dog -not allowed to turn away an aggressive dog even if you think you cant control it or will end up getting bit, unless you have a managers approval, THEY WONT APPROVE IT! -getting pooped on, getting peed on, finding poop in your pocket, getting bit -get written up for not wearing a name tag, even if it just fell off because you were in the middle of restraining a dog
