Pros

The office is nice and you can bring your pet to work.

Cons

The corporate culture is so dysfunctional I'm surprised this company has held on as long as it has. Organization in completely flat, with just as many senior leadership positions as junior level. Leadership is incompetent and constantly changing strategy without a single thought. The new CEO brought in his senior leadership crew (all men of course) and brought with it fear culture, zero job security or career growth. The digital and marketing departments are the worst of all, morale is at an all time low. I wish I hadn't left my prior company for this place. Out of the 6 people I interviewed with 3 years ago, only one is left. That should tell you everything you need to know.

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.
