Pros

Working with the public and meeting their pets is awesome. Not being micro managed and able to use your creativity when merchandising is a plus. On the other hand, benefits are good.

Cons

Manager bait and switched , with salary,when I accepted the job. No job training whats so ever. Animal care at this particular store is horrible. management is floor coverage. Company has standards but noone follows them. district manager knows of issues but fails to do anything. Lack of accountability on all areas of management.

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.
