Pros

Dogs at work....but even they seem to be tiring of it...

Cons

I'm a valued employee. I've always received good evaluations. I do not have an axe to grind, and I'm generally well liked here....but... ...if you are considering a job at corporate ('job' stressed over the word 'career'), I would advise to think again. So many leaders put their own career benefit before the company and their team. Never have I seen a more self-serving culture of mid-to-top leadership. There are a handful of bright stars that seem to care about their team. The ratings from the stores appear great, but the central hub is on fire, and just continues to worsen.

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.
