Pros

Great benefits and they are moving back to better training, you get to interact with animals all day

Cons

At this point training depends on your store team. If you're lucky enough to get full time(only management now to my knowledge) you MUST have open availability. Non-negoitable, I've had associates I've worked with for 10+ years fired over it. With the new owners, they are still finding their footing with P&Ps. Otherwise, I would recommend. Wouldn't have stayed as long as I have and I have life long friends because of it.

Pros

Dynamic environment with good opportunities in various departments

Cons

Leadership cuts at store level led to overworked environment and that had a profound impact on employees' ability to keep up minimum standards of quality and safety, especially in the salons.
