Pros

Its a great entry level job. You work hard, don't question things you will move up fast. If your younger and at school, live with your parents its great. Full timers receive good benefits. If you need to make a living, look elsewhere.

Cons

Negativity, Low pay, gossip and rumor. If you work as a stocker/pet products associate expect to work at $7.50 - $9.00 an hour, but you WILL have to do the manual labor work of a person who is paid $12.00 - $15.00 an hour elsewhere. I enjoy hard work, but the pay was honestly lousy.

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
