It's a Pet Retailer. Enough Said.

Pros

1. You can bring your pet to work 2. You get discounts on pet products

Cons

1. Toxic and unprofessional work culture. It was not uncommon to hear senior managers gossiping about one another. I personally had my boss tell me not to listen to our Director; an incredibly awkward place to be put in by your immediate superior. 2.. Old and inundated business management systems from the 1990's are still used. 3. Lack of open communication between management and the executive level. 4. No formalized training processes for new hires. 5. Poor compensation - but honestly...what do you expect? 6. Gradually moving business operations from lovely San Diego to lesser San Antonio (Sorry Texas)

Pros

Fun working with animals and helping others care for their animals.

Cons

Treat store level associate as easily replacable. Not enough pay to live one. No hours! Keep everyone at partime
