      Pros

      Working with animals. Good vacation time given for amount of time on the job. Discount program is not bad either. Met some really good people.

      Cons

      Work typical retail hours (nights, weekends, holidays) which can really get in the way of spending time with family. Constrained by vast amounts of policies and procedures that are not always clear and forthcoming. Extreme lack of associates due to very constrictive payroll policy. Impossible to comply with deadlines associated with doing your job because of lack of associates in the store. Company is not trusting of anyone or anyone's opinion. No flexibility in being able to complete tasks per procedures. Antiquated equipment and fixtures.
