Pros

working with the animals and personal pets that come into the store. working with some pretty good peole who care for the animals more then just the bottom line. good chance for advancement. the turn over rate is about normal for retail. the comunication from nsc to the field is pretty good and getting better, we are kept up to date as to what is going on.

Cons

goals that are at times not possible to achieve. the pay could be better for what the company expects for results and the hours you must put in. the benefits are about inline for what other companies offer.

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.
