You belong here
Our vision of belonging aims to create an environment in which every associate feels that they truly belong. We place a high value on all the unique backgrounds, experiences and perspectives of our associates, customers and communities in which we live and work. This vision is grounded in three key aspects.
Talent
We aim to select, develop and retain the best talent from all backgrounds in order to drive innovation. With this goal in mind, last year PetSmart invested $450,000 in continuous learning and professional development, focused on unconscious bias and diversity & inclusion.
Culture
We value an inclusive and caring workplace in which associates are engaged, feel safe and can be their authentic selves. We have six Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) that were created to embrace differences and individuality.
Community
Last year, PetSmart dedicated 22,000 hours
of paid volunteer time to Phoenix office associates, encouraging us to engage and give back to our communities. We also focus on inspiring our business partners to embrace and share our vision.
