Pros

Everyone in the company is super friendly and it seems like most people are willing to help out others. For the most part, the company does seem genuinely concerned with the customers experience in the store rather than just the bottom line.

Cons

Managers often overlook things like hourly associates being late or calling in, rather than firing them and hiring someone who really wants a job. Some rules dictated by corporate are made by people who have obviously never worked in a retail store but are running them. It's very frustrating to have to comply with things that only clutter up an already busy day.

Pros

15% off whole store 50% proprietary brands Petting animals Friendly customers Almost never declines requested days off

Cons

Must have min one weekend day available No room for growth very hard to become full time Must make requests a month in advance even thought the schedule come out Thurs/fri for the following week, shifts can be unpredictable Coworkers with seniority have “better” shifts Scrubbing tanks may have you armpit deep They say everyone is equal and gets paid the same but not everyone put in the same effort, ex: some people don’t do pet care at all or never close or never work truck days
