Pros

The job itself can be a very fun, exciting, and rewarding place to work. The job is fun when theres enough coverage and the customers are great when we arent in a global pandemic.

Cons

We never have enough bodies working, due to the consant tight payroll, to help everyone as much as we would like to. Store managers can not just manage because payroll is so tight that we are bodies on the sales floor, often times the only ones.

Pros

Get to see dogs every single day. Work life balance is achievable if staffed and trained correctly. Good teamwork overall.

Cons

Hours are still extremely tight, so tight that every pet project that is rolled out gets a chuckle from tenured managers because labor is never included to support it. Constant change, changes so fast it’s like beta testing every single concept only to be perfected at a time to be determined later if at all. Inventory- A complete and utter mess, could be the size of the DCs could be complete incompetence. Can’t get anything you’re out of stock of but you will certainly get 10 bags of the slowest selling dog food because it’s got to go somewhere.
