Working at Petsmart

[elliotulysses]

i personally work at petsmart as a pet care associate. its a great job and they always at least listen to what i have to say and usually act upon it. I would not say the same for a petco though... we always welcome any tips/help on how to take care of our pets. we do have rule and regulations but that has never stopped them from looking into an idea and doing it in a way that makes you, the pet, and corporate happy. coming into the job with knowledge is important. they will teach you the necessary stuff but that's about it. I've looked hard core into many species that we sell and learned a lot more than what i was taught. care of our pets (at my store at least) is top priority because that is where we make most of our profit, an unfortunate reason but nothing can stop that (plus they are living creature) so if you can help keep them healthy and happy you are who we want. make sure to call back often (three days after it was submitted, and call them if they forget to call you back, they get very busy) the more actively you pursue a job the more they will know you want it. i don't know if this is helpful at all but if you have any questions let me know. i would love to help you get a job

I don't know if this is true, but I heard that both chains drug test you? It isn't too much of a concern to me, but I just found it rather odd/unrelated and a waste of time/money (I think full-panel drug tests are like $40+)

they've only done an initial drug test (pee in a cup) but i haven't been tested sense. i think its just regulation. it helps find "quality" employees that can be expected to stay for a while.
