As you can tell I work for the nation's leading retail supplier of products, services and where the associates are pet detectives to find solutions for total lifetime care of pets. This is a brand new PETsMART, which currently opened up this month in Fontana.

Recently the scheduling of hours for associates have been cut dramatically causing inconsistent number of hours and schedules, unhappy associates, and low earnings. The associates are viewed as being extremely important to the company because we are the people that the customers associate with.
