Pros

The interaction with dogs is great Many of the pet parents are wonderful and regularly bring treats. You get great customer service experience You learn all the dogs that are regulars and you'll love seeing them walk in! Working holidays, long hours, and stressful times with too few people makes you closer to your peers.

Cons

Seniors have no management perks but are required to run shifts alone. Daycamp is soul crushingly boring, don't expect breaks or a person to relieve you. 15 min. breaks are a joke when you're a Senior, you do well to get a lunch and must manage your own hours for fear of going over weekly hours Speaking of hours, there are never enough. You will be running shifts where its only you and one person in back when daycamp is over. This leaves you running the front desk (associated are rarely cross trained for this) plus your duties as a Senior. You are required to work all holidays and are threatened with write-ups and termination if you're sick.

Pros

Work with animals Good customers. A job.

Cons

Management is horrible. No one is there to help you. Retaliation is horrible, alot of backstabbing. You will not get promoted. Someone will pin the blame on you for their mistakes. Horrible time management. Store manager doesn't do anything. Pay is one of the lowest in retail. Promises are made not kept. Last resort place to work. If they don't like you they cut your hours to nothing because they don't have the audacity to tell you to your face.
