Pros

Great customer loyalty, discounted items always helpful, support among most store level employees, flexibility on scheduling if you're a good worker, room for movement in different departments. I worked in front end, stock and pet care and most people were very willing to help you learn.

Cons

Low pay, insufficient employee reviews, turnover of management a lil too fast, having to work beyond schedule limitations sometimes (ex. you let them know you can't work past three and you're scheduled to four). I worked 39 hours a week so I couldn't be considered full-time and get good benefits. A person who worked for a month received a promotion over me (was there for year and half) cause of favorites with one manager. Very unfortunate. She made many mistakes in her new position.

Pros

Flexibility in scheduling, getting to chat with pet owners, being around animals. Learn alot about taking care of pet's health. Good benefits for full-time employees.

Cons

Low pay. Promotions to assistant manager positions do come up, but the low pay makes it difficult to survive. Back-breaking work in many departments with little help.
