Pros

Good place to work. High standards and expectations but that typical of retail or at least it should be. Easy carrer progression if you work hard. No real pick up in business right after thanksgiving. Real increase is late december and January.

Cons

Politics are present here just like every other corporate job. Pay is less than most other retailers but thats to be expected when you really only have to put in about 45 hours per week as a GM.

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.
