Pros

Good benefits for full time employees. You earn Paid Time Off for the hours you work and you earn even more the longer you work there and also what position you're in with GM's getting the most.

Cons

Corporate does NOT care about animals, empoyees or "going green" they only pretend to care so they look good to consumers. They only truly care about padding their pockets. They don't give stores enough time(payroll) to take care of animals properly according to P&P, It's liking moving mountains just to find time and payroll to take sick animals to the vet . We don't have time to thoroughy help and/or educate customers and we don't have enough time to do the never ending tasks involved in everyday retail and the ridiculous projects corporate wants done. Corporate is constantly pushing stores to "sell, sell, sell" and to provide "excellent" customer service while they deny the stores the proper amount of payroll to meet these demands. Corporate decided to "go green" by not turning on all the lights until 10 am. While this is great for the environment, it is not the real reason. It was to save themselves money. Which again, is all corporate cares about.

Pros

Great opportunities for career and personal advancement with a comprehensive training program, friendly coworkers and competent management. Overall just a fun atmosphere to work in

Cons

I really can't think of anything in particular. I suppose the hours vary from week to week sometimes and you do usually start out at the bottom as part time stocking food etc.
