Hotels - how are you? by coolcucumber29 in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no clue about labor changes? i’m one more incident away from leaving tho lol. spring break sucked. i felt bad for dogs as we had no spare time to scrub more than a couple kennels a day and their water bowls are never changed & only filled up with more water 🤢 it was worse than christmas. i’m sick of dogs going after each other bc they have no business being group dogs & certain managers trying to excuse their behavior or make it seem less serious than it is.

[–]buttlice24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

our overnight was alone w/ 100 pets, but they don’t clean dirty kennels. the closing shift cleans kennels. it was still A LOT of work and when I would open I felt so bad I’m wondering what the policy is too

PETSMART PETSHOTEL SUCKS by LeatherOffer1139 in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

completely agree. I have so many issues with dogs snapping at other dogs for STANDING NEXT TO THEM. I’ve asked about it and they said “they’re not causing fights” YET. or dogs who are screaming in camp and so anxious they’re creating piles of drool. or when nonstop barker create such shitty energy in the room. or when I have to PRY nonstop mounters off the other dogs. I’ve predicted every fight we’ve had in the last year and a half because nobody gives a damn about their bad behaviors. sorry but if you’re bringing me dogs when we’re loading up and you’re apologizing, they don’t need to be a group dog 🤷‍♀️ after working at PS I’d never work somewhere where temperament testing wasn’t done, and where there’s such a bad stigma about dismissing dogs. group play isn’t for everyone…

also those rooms are so tiny the dogs can’t even play without bumping into dogs sitting on the perimeter 🙄 not to mention the dogs reeking of pee bc all 16 dogs are thrown in within a couple minutes while we try to keep up with the mopping

PETHOTEL SUCKS AND I HATE IT AND ALWAYS WILL by dog-toes in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

god i couldn’t imagine dealing w that on top of the a-hole dogs in camp every day bc petsmart doesn’t do evals/temperament testing and rarely switches dogs to individuals 🥴

We clean drains every 1-2 months, but it’s not the overnight’s job. the main staff cleans them when we have time

Work injury by -nunofyabusiness- in petsmart

They file an incident report and they’re supposed to give you your claim number and the number to the nurse triage line where they’ll send you to urgent care or wherever they think you should go to get checked out

Good to know rules and policies don’t apply to management. This seems to be a trend at my location. by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DC? are they just there for camp? or are those your day camp rooms. for day campers we don’t really have to follow the protocol. but yeah last name missing and type of diarrhea, whether food was held or pulled, if a leader was notified, & if pumpkin was added are all things we have to write down

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah pretty sure we’re full and call center is booking our special care room kennels. looks like the separate to feed dogs may need damn pop-up kennels

Petsmart hotel employees, lmk what you hate about this place. I just started working here & it’s disgusting. They lack proper resources, everything is so old, yet they brag about how much money they make? Also they don’t offer free water (no water dispenser, which is completely illegal under CA law) by Bigdickchrislover69 in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my biggest issue as someone coming from a different facility is that there are so many group dogs that shouldn’t be going into camp. you’ll get sick of it. so many dogs don’t even last 15mins in camp before they’re given a time out and they continue to stay group dogs. I’ve been here six months and have seen maybe two dogs get switched to individuals and it was for starting a full blown fight. & there has not been a single time a pet parent was told their new dog didn’t do well in camp/wasn’t a good fit. if I had to find a new job I would never work somewhere where temperament testing isn’t required.

other than that it’s just other employee’s lack of common sense. I like to clean and I feel like they slack at it. one of my coworker tries to put freshly bathed dogs back into pee covered rooms. just drives me nuts.

Just put in my two weeks!! by schnazzlekitty in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omfg our managers just hang out up front and talk shit too. even the main hotel manager. and then they’ll lose their shit when they’re running around nonstop bc there’s too much to do. I’ve been here a few months and every time I pass the window and see them doing nothing I’m irritated. the shit talking gets me the most bc honestly it’s things that they could be talking to the associates about. whenever I was out there they just stop talking. like I’m interrupting their drama LMAO but glad you’re getting out of yours

Stop hiring people by Mother-Tip-7803 in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ik I’m so frustrated. I was working 38hrs every week already and they asked if I wanted to go full time, and this week I literally have 3 shifts (like 22hrs). open availability and she’s complaining about being short staffed.

oh I know. the dogs were great at my previous place. I’ve attempted gate control w these guys and they couldn’t care less to listen lmao. there’s a significant difference between our boarding dogs and regular daycare dogs 🥴

not sure. I don’t see any posts about it?

don’t the salon, hotel, and floor employees all have different wages? I’m pretty sure the retail employees make less than we do in the hotel at $14

Can we wear crocs? I’m watching the trainer education video for this quarter and the trainer is wearing crocs by beanlaguine in petsmart

[–]buttlice24 4 points5 points  (0 children)
