Pros

not much any more. First few years people were awesome to work with and everyone tried their best. . Then the good ones started to leave bc the pay was dwindling and management shifted after departure of Bob and Phil

Cons

Culture is clicky and operates like high school. Not equal treatment and accountability. VPs and Directors not qualified to lead. They favor the youth and don't appreciate experience. By they feel superior and their egos are boosted by youth. People get away with poor behaviors and they do not give equal treatment across teams. HR is a joke! Never seen such lack of professionalism or knowledge of employee rights. They do not walk their talk anymore with current mid level management --they are all rallying only for themselves. Senior management has totally changed the culture and work life balance is gone

Pros

Interacting with pets each day

Cons

DM has no field experience. Disconnect between the field and the people making decisions. Terrible work life balance. Bonus tied mostly to things that you do not affect at the store level.
