PetSmart

It’s Career Development Month! ?? At PetSmart, we’re proud to support associates in growing their careers across their #LifeAtPetSmart journey. Just ask Jennifer, Senior Director of Salon and Services Planning Execution, who has been with PetSmart for over 21 years! Starting as a college recruit and pet lover, Jen quickly advanced through PetSmart's accelerated leadership program—going from Presentation Manager to Store Leader in under 3 years. Her favorite part of running a store? "Would have to be that no two days were ever the same. I love that it's not predictable and getting to see all the pets." Jen loved leading the stores but wanted to do more with the organization. Moving into store operations, she took what she had learned from the field to keep improving #LifeAtPetSmart across the business. After her time in Store Operations, Jen transitioned back to the field, bringing a new understanding of the business and enhanced communication to better support stores. As Jen says, "The culture is truly special, and this company has the ability to value career growth. Make it known what you want to do and what your aspirations are—if you do that and build relationships, the sky is the limit on what you can accomplish at PetSmart." #CareerGrowth #PetSmartCareers #CareerDevelopmentMonth
