Pros

It is always fun to work around animals. Not only the ones for sale but customer pets. Customers were usually in a good mood due to the enviroment of the place.

Cons

Not enough hours avaialble. Worked in a high theft area with two employees opening and two closing. Could not even provide for employees om the floor for help most times.

Pros

Very friendly place, everyone is very nice, I get to work with and help the animals to the best of my abilities. Always learning new things about the animals. Flexible hours.

Cons

Most of my hours I spend doing pointless things, such as changing a planogram. That takes alot of time and I have no where to put old stock, so it ends up just sitting in the back. (what was wrong with the old planogram?) When the truck comes in we end up with alot of stock we didnt need. What we do need takes weeks, even months to come in. GM says she has no control over what is shipped and cannot send anything back. Management gives me almost no direction. Limited number of workers so small things like mopping the floors and cleaning the bathrooms never get done because they are to busy moving stock around.
