Pros

Animals Discount Decent hours Okay pay

Cons

I went to a mental health place after a suicide attempt, and was put on FMLA leave. After I was finished with the mental health treatment, I was requested to get a doctor's note to return to work, and note any of my new accommodations. I have less function in my knees and legs now, and so my doctor wrote that I would need to be able to take stretch breaks. After they saw that I newly got these issues with my legs, they are now refusing to let me come back to work, and are no longer responding to any of my messages.

Pros

If you have good management it’s a great place to work! I’ve worked with the same store leader for several years and they have helped me progress my career with the company. I’ve seen other store managers no they same, so it all depends who you work with!

Cons

Sometimes there’s lack of communication
