Pros

Working with animals every day

Cons

No upward mobility. Meaningless, horizontal promotions with no pay increase. All management hired from outside, few, if any, promotions of veterans with experience in the store AND with animals. Poor scheduling leads to understaffed, overworked team members. Issues between employees were never dealt with by upper management. The push from district management to sell Puppy Guides extended beyond people that actually worked in the right departments. People in the hotel side had hours cut due to low puppy guide sales despite the fact that they literally never interface with customers beyond handing them their dog.

Pros

Animals are great, co-workers become family, benefits, discount, so much to learn!

Cons

Long hours, no work/life balance, constant changes from corporate for operations (with the drop of a hat)

Pros

Animals are a good bonus and the pay is okay for entry level work. They allow you to move freely around positions at store

Cons

They track every statistic about you possible, and often berate and embarrass you over things like email capture (the amount of email sign ups for PetPerks.) and puppy guide sales (rip off coupon book)
