Pros

It's hard to get fired, get to see different pets, can set your availability, though may not management may never really follow that

Cons

It's hard to get fired, not a lot of room for advancement, unstable schedule: one week there will be a lot of hours, the next very few, the employee discount isn't really that much, especially with such low hourly wages

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
