I wish we had a petsmart close enough for me to work at. I would much rather be working with animals than with people right now.

Good luck. But I know two people working at petsmarts or similar that hate their jobs because their underpaid/overworked and treated like dirt. And the managers care more about the money than the pets they work with. I hope your store is not the same.

I hear you on that...i prefer night work cause I can make friends with "our crew" and not worry about customer service...evil grin. I can deal with the "where is this?" but not when customers go off on me cause a produict is not is stock(do they really think i order the stuff????!) LOL or the I know you have more in the back....yup and today is day I would rather not sell it to you and put it in my overstock. sigh

I work at Petsmart, but not, since I work in the Pethotel. I love my job. My manager is great, and even the main store managers are awesome, so good luck to you. My shift is 9pm-6am, so overnight, and I'm in the same boat as you. I love people and all, but I love the animals more, and they don't talk back... well, usually.

since you work there what is the discount % and is it good on everything(cat food/litter are my main buys...right now avg between 225-250 in cat stuff) I have seen a pet hotel up north but none are around me-thats a real cool service they offer. years ago I applied for boarding kennel as cattery help but they were looking for exp dog area:S was a real nicely run place...not to many boarding places localy. 4 start would be sweet not complety shut out from the "regular" world lol lol.

To the best I can remember, it's 15% I believe. I don't pay attention, I just buy stuff. I love the hotel. It's a great place to work.
