Pros

The pay is decent (50% commission on all sales OR $15 per hour if you aren't making that in commission)

Cons

The work environment is toxic. If you're new then you'll probably get bullied out. The groomers and grooming Leader will talk cr.ap behind your back constantly. Benefits su.ck. PTO su.cks. No payed holidays. The only days you get off holiday wise are Thanksgiving DAY and Christmas DAY, nothing else. Weekends are required (at least one weekend day per week) If you go to report a situation with a higher up, they will not care or help.

Pros

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

Cons

Forced to stay short staffed. Couldn't take proper breaks most days as a closing lead unless it was during the first few hours of shift. At the time the regional manager seemed more worried about the aesthetics of the back animal rooms floor that only employees saw when we had ac issues, issues getting access to an exotic vet, and only had enough hours to have two employees working at a time most shift on most days. I only had a couple interactions but that was one of them. Could not call off sick without leaving the store scrambling to find someone to stay open. Also sold improper habitats.
