Pros

Good benefits and animal care is really dependent on the Animal Care Manager. Not what the general public thinks.

Cons

Being heard, District management only hears the GM but not the rest of management, Retail sales threats are common and only rewarded with pizza. No opportunity for appeals when either reprimanded or removed from the company.

Pros

50% commission Medical/Dental/Vision insurance PTO

Cons

Upper management and corporate does not care about you as an employee. Expectations are unrealistic, unsafe, and employees are completely unsupported. Ever since the company became publicly traded, it’s all about the shareholders not the customer or the people doing the day to day. Upper management wants to know why a highly profitable salon doesn’t have any pros - they raised the threshold to the point of being unattainable.
