Pros

Customer service is number one so you become close to your customers and their needs. Able to be part of a new store set up team or help with duties outside of your own store.

Cons

You can't get close to the coworkers. Even though you work with them for years and spend more time with them than your own family you aren't allowed to fraternize outside of work. Groomers can do what they want and quit because they had a hiss fit then help get you fired and get your job back. Company is so quick to toss management to the trash instead of probation or taking away things or having a conversation with them on what they did wrong. I worked hard for them and I had a great employee file but one screw up and I'm out. Half the staff walked and they don't see a red flag. Business is business, no fun allowed.

Pros

Working with dogs donating expired food to shelter, Doing constant returns for beetles and worms in dog food as well as treats.

Cons

Sudden change to salary forced to work 55-60 hours a week no O.T unrealistic workload not enough hours to staff store according to meet expectations. Extremely low pay vs work load and responsibilities leads to animal neglect. Groomers underpaid cant commission causes high turn over. Lack of coverage never use PTO, so you loose it they dont pay it out to you. They call you CEO of company without a ceo paycheck! Run from this company.
