When you're a member of the PetSmart team, promptness is important -- your team-members are relying on you to be on time and ready to start work. It's always better to be a few minutes early for a shift so you can be ready to pick up where another team-member has left off as their shift ends. Make sure your interviewer knows that you are proactive and that you can handle the stress of unexpected situations that can arise.

"I hate being late and always do everything I can to avoid it -- if I'm not five minutes early, I feel like I'm already late! Cincinnati winters can make travel hard, so I always make sure to give myself extra time when there's snow or ice."
