Pros

Dogs, Dogs, and some really great regular guests

Cons

If you are ok with marking an employee absence as COVID related when it isn't then you will be fine here. I couldn't lie on a "form" stating that a broken down car was covid related. If you are fine with breaking your moral and ethical beliefs, good for you. If you are ok with a constant churn of DM's, 4 in 4 years, 4 VP's and a completely out of touch senior staff saying-I work for you- have fun.

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.
