I pride myself in finding work that is meaningful and impactful, and that's just what I got to do here at PetSmart. Something I learned very early in my internship is to not shy away from new experiences. From SQL meetings with external departments to spontaneous PetSmart Zumba classes, my willingness to take advantage of the resources that PetSmart offers has enriched my intern experience and allowed me to continue to learn and love my life at PetSmart.

The MFIA Trainee program was a perfect step into the corporate world right after college. Not only did it prepare me for my everyday responsibilities as a PetSmart associate, but it taught me how ALL areas of the business work together to serve our pet parents each day. After the program, I felt confident in my position and ready to grow in my career as a PetSmart associate.
