Before zooplus, I worked in the pet industry area of marketing and product development and always had the wish to move into purchasing and e-commerce. The zooplus office was close to my hometown and I got hired for a different job than the one I applied for. Great that zooplus looked further than just my application and saw potential based on my full resume. After three years I still see plenty of challenges to help the company achieve further goals and develop the business. I would recommend zooplus as an employer, because of the interesting combination of channel and market (e-commerce of pet products) but also the atmosphere within the company and between colleagues both local and international. From personal experience I can say that zooplus is even a great company to work when you don’t have a pet.
