Pros

The company does try to give you what you need to complete the necessary tasks of the job. You can bring your pets to work, and the environment is somewhat laid-back. Most of the management has an open door policy.

Cons

The analytics department morale is somewhat low due to the below average pay scale. The onboarding process is not thought out. Management tends to play favorites and will provide opportunity to those that play the corporate politics.

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.
