Pros

Great if you love animals! Opportunities to advance within the company. Employee discount, decent benefits..also part-timers get medical.

Cons

Upper management comes up with ideas, then changes them and does not give stores additional labor hours to go back and redo. Not very many hours unless you are one of the few full-time employees. High turnover at store manager level in some districts.

Pros

Still looking for one. Does not getting any training count? Maybe having all nite shifts, till 11:00 P.M.?? I know.....lots and lots of weekends when you offer an open availability.

Cons

Where Pets come first is only a clever marketing slogan at this location. Truth be known, I found pets that were for sale; sick , beat up, and neglected almost every shift. Employees are never given enough time to properly care for them. Sales come first,not pets,not customers, not staff. It's all about the numbers look great! Not too hard to boast when your the only pet store in the city. Come on Mr. James M. Myers wake up. I invite you to St. Augustine any night or weekend to visit your St. Augustine location here, with - NO- inter-company knowelge. A true no-know visit. Are you ready to see how we live? Please see if you can eat in a break room where free range cats get vac's. By all means use the bath rooms. Please think about using the fridge for your food, or the microwave. All this should give you a pretty good idea of how YOUR animals are cared for. Mr. Myers, your employees are not treated any better than the animals, pretty scary right?
