Pros

customers that come in are wonderful.

Cons

you get no respect for the work you do. corporate seems to get it , but by the time those ideas are received by the stores they are not executed the way they should be.

Pros

Fundamental belief in animal adoption and proper care, depth of knowledge (subject matter experts) in many fields, fairly high level of direction, hard working coworkers, nice perks (i.e. Padres games in SD), competitive benefits packages

Cons

Work life balance extremely difficult, on call 24/7 with Blackberry access, some micro managing leaders, unrealistic deadlines and objectives on some projects, silo mentality between key departments, lack of career paths for mid management, lack of true recognition (surface accolades given sparingly).

Pros

My co-workers are great. If you work at corporate, you can bring your pets to work. Most associates genuinely care about animals. My boss was wonderful though I feel he should have been promoted faster. Great internal reward system at corporate level. Great prices on pet supplies!

Cons

I feel like the associates and GMs at store level weren't treated as well as they could have been. Upward mobility is really limited.
