Pros
I loved working for MudBay. I spent three years working both full and part time when I went back to school. I loved (still love) the people I worked with and felt valued as an employee. I've worked other retail jobs and MudBay is hands down the best I've ever been treated. The discount is significant and there is opportunity to try possible new products which Mudbay pays for (months if free food? Yes please!). There is a lot of opportunity for learning and becoming truly know legible about the products and how to recommend the best stuff for pets. And Mudstock! Mudstock is awesome. Close every store for a day to get everyone together for essentially mudbays version of a boyscout jamboree.
Cons
It's retail. There are cranky customers, and there is working over holidays and on weekends. sometuned there are tons of hours available for everyone to work near full-time, and sometimes there's just not. I do wish the freezer situation was better when I was there. Having them break down all the time really sucked. I feel like sometimes day-to-day things that would improve the store got lost in favor of the grand vision.
