Pros

Employees truly cared about animals and were knowledgeable. The work environment was pleasant and generally upbeat.

Cons

Animals are kept in too small enclosures. The larger company supports the breeding of small animals for profit, often delivering sick animals to stores.

Pros

If you have experience they can pay very well considering the size of the company. Depending on which store you are in, they can be pretty good at fostering a good environment and culture.

Cons

Company is primarily focused on sales and not customer experience. So expect a lot of metrics and hounding customers. Company is trying to be technologically forward but continues to neglect to invest in the technology. So there’s updates every week crashes every week with no communication around it.
