Pros

You get to work with a lot of animals and animal lovers.

Cons

Since the company has sold the new owners only care about profit. The management teams are being given to many task without the resources to complete them and care for the customer.

Pros

I really don't see any pros anymore. The company was enjoyable to work for when I started, but there is nothing left from what the company was.

Cons

This company has been in a constant decline since 2011. Poor decisions trickle down from the top constantly and animal vendors are subpar. The training has always been more like throwing you into the fire than actual training. Restructuring has led to lay offs and former full time management positions being cut to part time. Most worthwhile employees have left for better companies, and terrible employees never get fired. There is zero care/concern for employees.
