      Pros

      I felt lucky to be surrounded by a bunch of girls who were dedicated to the pets. Not all Petsmart hotel's were as close as ours. We had enough employees that they worked really well around your school schedule, in fact, it was their first priority!

      Cons

      Corporate would make rules that made it obvious they had never worked a day blue collar in their life. Dumb rules that would make things unsafe or not just not make any sense at all. They also don't realize the revenue the Hotels bring in and expected us to cut hours as we got busier. Therefore making some people work way over their scheduled shift. This also reduced the quality of care we could give the dogs and cats. There simply was too many pets in the facility for the amount of hours we were allowed to work a week.

      Pros

      If you have experience they can pay very well considering the size of the company. Depending on which store you are in, they can be pretty good at fostering a good environment and culture.

      Cons

      Company is primarily focused on sales and not customer experience. So expect a lot of metrics and hounding customers. Company is trying to be technologically forward but continues to neglect to invest in the technology. So there’s updates every week crashes every week with no communication around it.
