Pros

The bonus program. Work life balance. Seeing pets everyday. Most Customers are great. Plenty of communication from home office.

Cons

Do you love cats? Great! You can be a VP. Unbelievable favoritism. Store Managers were termed left & right. They preach job security & positive work environment, but Store Managers are discarded left & right. DM's love to come in & beat up your staff on your days off or vacation.

Pros

good benefits ok pay employee discount 15% get to work with pets

Cons

No outside work life, more so than other retail industries a lot of gossip between some DMs and other managers. There is little confidentiality, everyone knows your business or spread rumors, very high-school-ish not enough payroll hours to complete projects and properly take care of animals District Managers have their favorites- usually unskilled managers who kiss up every chance they get. Little opportunity for promotions past the Store Manager level Some of the customers are insane, cat collectors!!!
