Pros

I really enjoy working here because of the flexible hours andthe ability to work with lots of people with the same interests as you. Benefits are available to everyone, even part-timers. There's lots of interaction with customers which is probably the best part. You get to forge new relationships with recurring customers. Everyone gets vacation time and sick time, which was a very nice surprise to me.

Cons

In my position there are early hours and you have to be willing to do more than one job, which means you'll often times be stocking which can be hard and strenuous work.

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
