Pros

Get to see dogs every single day. Work life balance is achievable if staffed and trained correctly. Good teamwork overall.

Cons

Hours are still extremely tight, so tight that every pet project that is rolled out gets a chuckle from tenured managers because labor is never included to support it. Constant change, changes so fast it’s like beta testing every single concept only to be perfected at a time to be determined later if at all. Inventory- A complete and utter mess, could be the size of the DCs could be complete incompetence. Can’t get anything you’re out of stock of but you will certainly get 10 bags of the slowest selling dog food because it’s got to go somewhere.

Pros

At first I really enjoyed working here, I loved having hands on experience with the animals and learning more about them. I also loved hands on experience with customers and helping them with their needs.

Cons

After time the work environment become toxic, my managers became rude. And I realized both the manager and the assisted manager talked bad about everyone else. I was blamed multiple times for things that were not my fault, and left to clean up after everyone else’s messes. I was also blamed for a groomer cutting a dog simply because I was entered the grooming salon. I would not recommend working at this location, because you most likely will be talked bad about and get multiple complaints about things that are not your fault.
