Pros

Weekly pay is nice to have, and necessary at such a low rate pay. Special teams no longer come with a raise.

Cons

1. Since the founders sold the company to Pet Smart it is a job only, and not a pleasant one A. CS Mgmt ruined the communication between departments. New Oracle system forces you to put resolution of customer problem in a queue and out of your hands. No longer possible to resolve many issues on first call. This has lead to angry customers calling in multiple times with escalating anger for resolution B. Pharmacy is a mess. No communication between it and CS. Many times have found Rx on file for 48 hrs or more, with no Pharmacy follow through. So much for Oracle queueing. C. CS Mgmt cut training from 3 weeks to 2 weeks without restructuring the training program efficiently. With such a high turnover rate and no Development Department to speak of, CSR'S coming out of training are incapable of handling many issues, leading to more angry customers calling in for a third or 4th time to get resolution. D. Recurring orders are now processing 24 to 48 hours early. Nightmare and bounced checks for customers. Not to mention the questionable ethics of such a decision. E. Leadership is hard to find in the floor. Leads are no longer able to focus on their team and spend more time on escalation calls. F. Leadership on floor now delegated to BOO, or back office Oracle. This team is understaffed and poorly trained, taking multiple chats from CSR's trying to resolve issues for customers. Several minutes will go by before getting a usually canned response from BOO agents Customers get very frustrated with the excessive time it takes to get a response

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
