Pros

Definitely working with animals and local shelters, Decent (ish) pay, and great work life balance depending on your manager. If you need time off, its usually no problem as long as you give notice.

Cons

Poor management. DMs do not care to hear employees out about problems. Health insurance is expensive and doesn't actually do anything. They don't like to give you your PTO even though you're supposed to get it. They would rather keep problematic employees who barely work over tenured employees who go above and beyond.

Pros

Working with dogs donating expired food to shelter, Doing constant returns for beetles and worms in dog food as well as treats.

Cons

Sudden change to salary forced to work 55-60 hours a week no O.T unrealistic workload not enough hours to staff store according to meet expectations. Extremely low pay vs work load and responsibilities leads to animal neglect. Groomers underpaid cant commission causes high turn over. Lack of coverage never use PTO, so you loose it they dont pay it out to you. They call you CEO of company without a ceo paycheck! Run from this company.
