Thanks for the explanation and I agree with all that. In my case, it was required training I could take with me elsewhere or pay upfront without having to commit to a specific employer. My employer has paid for my IT certs stipulating a hefty debt if I leave in less than a year. Assuming you are getting paid a living wage and the obligation is for a year or less I see no problem at all.

Sounds like we agree. I have no problem with optional certification/degree programs paid for by employers, with a reasonable payback period. The PetSmart program doesn't sound like it provides any value to the employee and serves only to force the employee to stay at PetSmart under less-than-ideal circumstances.
