How employees describe working at PetSmart
I love working at PetSmart but senior leadership is bad right now and has taken away the valuable work life balance that kept talented people around
At least the person involved was nice can't say the same for all store leaders
Good customer service and knowledge
I can always find what I'm looking for at Petsmart. Variety of products for my cat and dog!
Listen, realize you don't have all the answers and Be team Focused. This should cultivate a healthy working environment. Instead there is negative energy and finger pointing that has brought toxic behavior. It's disappointing to see leaders not rise above.
