Pros

Opportunity to work on various projects from e-commerce to services side, Great managers who are helpful, talented team, and a pretty decent work-life balance. You're not always swamped with work here which is a plus.

Cons

Not many that I want to list here.

A great place to work

Pros

Supportive coworkers who genuinely care about animals and teamwork Strong training for new associates, especially in pet care and customer service Opportunities to learn across different departments (grooming, cashiering, stocking, pet care) Steady company culture and clear expectations Discount on pet supplies Management varies by store, but when it’s good, it’s very supportive

Cons

Inflexible scheduling, especially during peak seasons Hours can be slow, especially outside holidays or if the store is overstaffed Limited opportunities for advancement unless you push very hard Pay increases are modest and don’t always reflect experience or workload High turnover can put extra pressure on long-term staff Workload can be inconsistent—some days overwhelming, other days underutilized Roles are very defined and lack nuance as they once did, which limits learning opportunities to advance in the store.
