Pros

- you learn a lot about animal nutrition - everyone there is passionate about animals and very friendly - you are surrounded by creatives and a team who work together and stick up for each other - management adjusted my schedule and offered me alternate roles to improve my work / home life balance which was very thoughtful

Cons

- employees are the only deterrent for thieves, as the mall police won't stop them and we did not have in-store security - there are a number of responsibilities for a closer, and we were often mildly understaffed - I am unsure about upwards mobility opportunities
