Pros

Tons of experience working with animals! You learn a lot about different types of animals as well as gaining experience treating sick animals.

Cons

Very low salaires, lots of work for little pay. In petcare department you are constantly cleanning cages everyday except Saturday and Sunday in which you still have to clean fish tanks. Have to deal with rude people who ask for your advice then tell you that you don't know what your talking about.

Pros

The staff works as a family, and some days are harder than others, but at my store we know we all have each other's back. It's a great place to work as a student in college and promotions are given to those who show initiative.

Cons

Raises are minimal for the responsibilities of the job and there are instances of difficult situations with customers, but that is something you will find in any job in retail. A lot of the time, we are educating our customers on the needs of their pet, so this can be time consuming.

Pros

Good pay, awesome clients, good benefits.

Cons

Management does not care about their employees. They are cold hearted & mean. You can't go to the careline or to the DM with a problem because its turned around & shoved back in your face. Some. Coworkers are ok but most are not.
