Pros

Large company with large company perks and benefits. Many opportunities for growth and training if you put in the effort. "Pet people" tend to be kinder and more caring creating a very friendly atmosphere. Great to be able to bring in you pet on Fridays.

Cons

Hard work is expected. You are likely to work several weekends and 40 hour weeks are a luxury (depends on the department).

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
