I have been working at PetSmart for 10 months.
I started working for the PetsHotel in Jan. 24th
I worked the overnight shift.
They made me full-time, gave me benefits, and then fired me soon after I got my benefits.
They fired me for leaving the PetsHotel to go into the break room on my break.
But I didn't know I was setting off motion detectors every time as I left the PetsHotel. I wish they would have warned me or at least written me up... Not a word from them.
Well, not entirely true. They questioned me as they were going to fire me.
Would have been nice if I knew I wasn't allowed to go into the break room. They also accused me of causing damage to the women's bathroom. Apparently the toilet was broken and it flooded. There were also some notes left in the bathroom that they said matched my handwriting.
Which seriously they should get the authorities involved that can analyze the handwriting or dust for prints to see who the real perpetrator instead of wrongfully accusing someone because you didn't get your facts straight.
I loved my job.
I had no reason to do such things.
They gave me full-time because I was the hardest working night associate.
Even when there was 114 dogs, I still busted my a* checking on the pets EVERY hour, clean the facility, prepare and give out food, walk the dogs and cleanup afterwards. The PetsHotel doesn't have its own break room and the fridge in the kitchen is not big enough to keep my food and drinks because it is filled with the pets' wet food and snacks. It is just a mini-fridge. I had fun playing with all the cute dogs and cats. I live in an apartment that does not allow dogs. So I really had fun with my job.
I looked up other instances of PetSmart employees being wrongfully terminated, and there were lots of people speaking out. I think I may go apply for (competitors name redacted).
