Pros

The product is great and bringing pets to work is fantastic. The pay is slightly higher than minimum wage. The dress code is relaxed.

Cons

The thing is management is young and likes to create cliques. If you aren't their friends you will not do well. While working there a large amount of people quit and quite a few were fired (with no warning).. which is a terrible sign of a company. When someone did leave we were not notified and so when customers called in asking for them we would not know they are gone and it was a very frustrating process. New management cares more about quantity than quality... which means a LOT of unhappy customers. The training is minimal and the amount of learning is vast in a very short time. Bringing your dog to worj is cook but the pet policy is ridiculous and more hassle than benefit. The amount of money you get paid is not worth the work and emotional sanity.. I say stay away until they figure out what the heck they are doing.

Pros

Manager that truly wants me to succeed and grow, smart hard working coworkers, awesome perks and company atmosphere, the feeling that you are truly making a difference in the lives of pets and policy holders.

Cons

I am crazy about my dog and one of the big reasons I chose to work here was because I would be able to bring her to work. But lately the pet policy is just INSANE. There are a lot of rules that don't make sense to me, but the most recent one is the final straw. Now friendly dogs that are in fully gated cubicle areas have to be tied up to our desks on short tethers. For a company that markets itself as a cool, pet friendly environment, the hypocrisy and stupidity of the pet policy is maddening. I and many of my coworkers think it's cruel and unusual and pointless to tie up a dog (that is already safely behind a gate) on tiny tether for 8 hours a day, and we are frustrated and mad that such a stupid idea has become policy. Dogs that are tied up are more aggressive, defensive, they can't play with or get snuggles from the people in their areas, and they think they are being punished. The dogs that are tied up now cry ALL DAY and are super distracting. I love everything about my job, but now the pet policy is actually making me dread coming to work, and making me feel like the company doesn't care about me.

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the pet policy.The changes to the policy were implemented due to the number of approved pets in the office growing to over 200! This is a huge benefit that we want to continue to provide as the company grows, while at the same time maintaining a safe workplace for employees and their pets. As always, all feedback and concerns about the policy are heard and considered.

Pros

Cons

cliquey, some management tends to be icy towards you and it's the managers you work with every day in your capacity.
