Pros

Great opportunities for career and personal advancement with a comprehensive training program, friendly coworkers and competent management. Overall just a fun atmosphere to work in

Cons

I really can't think of anything in particular. I suppose the hours vary from week to week sometimes and you do usually start out at the bottom as part time stocking food etc.

Pros

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

Cons

Forced to stay short staffed. Couldn't take proper breaks most days as a closing lead unless it was during the first few hours of shift. At the time the regional manager seemed more worried about the aesthetics of the back animal rooms floor that only employees saw when we had ac issues, issues getting access to an exotic vet, and only had enough hours to have two employees working at a time most shift on most days. I only had a couple interactions but that was one of them. Could not call off sick without leaving the store scrambling to find someone to stay open. Also sold improper habitats.
