PetSmart

I was the face of my store for 5 years. I trained many employees who came and went. I was the smile who calmed red-faced, angry customers and had them leave happy. I took a lot of abuse from customers and managers alike with a smile. I went above and beyond my job description because I'm a team player. I crushed sales quotas. I never got promoted because I would request Christmas Eve off. WOW.

I work in the dog hotel and I played with dogs but I love being a cashier and helping people. It nice to be up front I enjoyed being a cashier more than being in the dog hotel.

Great place to work if you enjoy physical work , safe & clean environment. Requires high attention to detail.

I absolutely loved being a dog groomer. After seven years of handling many large dogs, I began to feel the wear. If I were bionic, I would have continued this role for a very long time. The customers made the experience fun and I appreciated their trust in me with their fur-babies.

I know too many people that have left there or were let go not because they couldn't do the work but couldn't do it expected fast enough. They have to hire people of a certain age knowing that what is going to be expected is not obtainable. They also don't look at the strength of the people they hire or promote just how fast they work. I never missed a day for weather or anything but people who took off all the time but could work fast were promoted over me.

I've been analyzing warehouse computer applications and have developed computer programs to have the warehouse associates easily scan products on their handheld devices.

I loved this job but you have to be a great salesman to sell the puppy/dog classes. I was a bather when not training so i got to go back and forth. Customers in general were animal people and out really was fun. On your feet the whole time so it's not a job for someone who needs to sit. Pay is ok but not great. Not good for anyone supporting. Family though!

I loved working at PetSmart. Everyone was so nice and would help each other during times of need like a family.

I had a lady with a 40lb puppy pit bull and a lady with a 5lb chihuahua, the little guy wanted to say hi but I noticed the bigger dog, body going down, ears back and the dogs body stiffened. I told both lady's to pull back on the leashes because the bigger dog was going to attack, neither one did, so I pulled on the leash right when the bigger dog went for the smaller dog. Sooo the lady with the pit e-mailed my boss that I grabbed her dog's leash and she didn't like it. So I told the story to my boss and he didn't like what I did, so he wrote me up. Petsmart they say is all about the animals. well when you try to help ANY of the pet parents out answering their questions and they don't like the answer, they e-mail corp then to my boss who doesn't care if you helped them, the bosses get extra pay if they don't have any complaints for the month. So you get an e-mail complaint you get written up and doesn't matter if it wasn't your fault. 5 years of corp bullcrap!!!

I worked in Warehouse and pulled orders for stores. Packed stacked and rapped pallets. Operated electric pallet rider(jack)(double).. Product stacked 8ft high. Operated forklift. Was a great job. 1st class company and management team. The group(team) I work with made job even better.
