Pros

As A new General Mananger, I am training with the Genral Manager that is leaving.This is a great opportunity to see how a succesful manager has ran her store. The computer training is extensive to thepoint of being too much. You have to complete all courses your employees have to complete as well as management courses.......in less than 2 weeks along with on the job training.

Cons

The training for General Manager is fairly new and has not gotten all the kinks worked out. Alot to learnin a short amont of time.

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.
