Pros
Great in depth training, great benefits & discounts, can bring pets to work, staffers were some of the best people I'd ever met and am still friends with today, lots of locations making transferring and moving possible.
Cons
- Too many stores too quickly. They're now taking business from some of their own high grossing stores & making them less profitable. Effecting hours & wages. - Took on too many projects at once (delivery, green pet, private labels, Mudroom) - and now they're all suffering. -Seriously calling Green Pet staffers GRUDDIES? Come on. That's just insulting. -Give the illusion of being employee owned without actually listening to their employees. -INCREDIBLY difficult to get promoted within due to SM & DM bias. That, and if you're a longtime dedicated muddy that had been there all throughout the 15$ min wage implementation & was now making above average pay...it means they will never promote you due to you being too expensive. Punished for being loyal! - Their (supposedly soon to be replaced) POS system is ancient and difficult and doesn't communicate with the CC terminal. Must manually enter in every transaction total manually - if you're dyslexic, have sight problems, or get distracted talking to customers at check out - get ready to be written up a lot and denied promotions because of it.
