Pros

There are some people who are decent and good-hearted but sadly they don’t seem to survive here. They either leave from disgust or get fired as misfits.

Cons

Totally political environment where daggers are out for anyone who gets in the way. Lots of side deals among top management to enrich themselves while everyone else does with less. People lie about their numbers and incredibly no one checks. No one seems to care about fairness or honesty. And if you’re a woman, think twice about coming here unless you’re happy to be silent and play a subservient role.

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.
