Surviving.....not a Career - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso PetSmart

The culture at PetSmart when I first started was great! You were encouraged to make decisions on your own (even if you made a mistake because that is how you learn). Everyone wanted to know everyone and collaborate but now when you pass someone in the halls it's a "hey glad your still here and surviving!", there is a also the attitude of screw it. The culture is extremely silo, it is CYA all the time, and a constant fear of what Michael Massey would have to say. There is some serious culture damage and whatever you had heard before about working at PetSmart throw it out the window! When it comes to career opportunities, it is out of the window. The senior leaders brought their friends and they brought theirs, so it is next to impossible to move internally unless you are from the senior leaders past company. There is extremely high turnover and well someone has to do the work, so now you are expected to do your job and the two other people's jobs who left the company. Your work life balance is out of the question. The culture is rocky right now, especially with new values that rolled out. PetSmart use to live by its success factors but now it is like any other big corporation, the values are just a facade. The only value out there is do whatever it takes to win-and pretend to do the values.
