Pet Valu Sales Manager Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
There is good consistent communication between managers, district manager, and employees. Corporate has policy in place for passing down information.
Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication and understanding that each store has different needs and customers that have different needs in each city
Review from Sales Dept
Upper level management (i.e. District Managers, Regional Managers) has very unrealistic expectations for store managers, creating high stress levels for both the managers and the sales associates. High daily & weekly sales and DPT goals is important, but they set the bar a little too high.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel that assistant managers are not properly compensated or taken seriously as hard working and important assets of the company. Employees are also often forced to close alone which can be unsafe and inconvenient when trying to complete a series of closing tasks.
Review from Sales Dept
We are called "Sales Associates" but we do way more than just sales! They want us to be "pet experts", which requires actual knowledge of animal nutrition and products. There's no shipment crew - the "sales associates" stock the truck shipments. I believe that the job title should be changed.
Review from Sales Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Working at a pet store usually means that we share similar views and are very passionate about animals. We all care about our customers and want to help them find the things they need for their pets.

Review from Sales Dept
People are very friendly and willing to help with shift coverage. I really enjoy the culture of love for animals and the way that everyone cares about each other's pets.
Review from Sales Dept
The store might be a little hectic, but the customers make it worth it. It's a great feeling being able to offer educated solutions to their needs, and it's rewarding when they come back a few days later to tell you how amazing the product was and how it solved their problems.

Definitely helping the customers! I've been with this company for 6 years now, so I have a lot of knowledge about the pet industry and sharing some of my knowledge with the customers is satisfying.
