If something is damaged or missing and we do a FSC request and you guessed it, we have to wait on that request and a response. LP inquires, reship request, credit request, return label request... Are you noticing a pattern? PetSmart systems are simply not designed for 1st contact resolution. We do

Absolutely nothing is positive in this company.

Working alone in my area

Review from Sales Dept

I am working with and around loving animals.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Remove over 50% of the management and replace them with associates. And get a union so the company doesn't have all the power.

Review from Sales Dept

Make them work more and take their phones away because they are on them too much

New management is needed, the whole store should be gutted management wise.

Review from Customer Support Dept

More flexible dog scheduling would make things move more fluidly in the salon

Any employees in the pet care department are resentful of the inadequate care of animals and education of customers. We're tired of selling animals to people who won't take care of them.
