PetSmart reviews

You only get words that you will get moved up but it probably wont happen, and you wont get a raise either when it does.

i applied for one job, interviewed for a different job and ended up with a job that was physically impossible for me to do well. Had I known this, I would have declined the position, but I tried to stick it out, hoping my body would adjust. I wore a pedometer for a week, and averaged 15 kilometres per night in walking. The night shift is basically cleaning. Scrubbing playrooms and 'atriums', drains where urine, feces, fur, hair, vomit and pet food get clogged and being expected to vacuum it out with a shopvac. Checklists are not followed. Night shift is always expected to complete his/her cleaning schedule, as well as walk and feed all dogs/cats in the facility, which is not in line with the "official" checklist. At Christmas, I had 58 dogs to do this with myself, after a shift of 3 people had the same responsibility the night before and still didn't get all their work done. There is definitely favouritism for certain employees, especially the nosy ones who can report back to managers about the work of other employees. Managers are re-assigned without compensation which makes them bitter and affects their ability to effectively manage new employees. The gossip mill works overtime and the managers fuel it. This is a toxic workplace in more ways than one.
