Pros

You get to be around animals. Pet owners share passion for animals. Safety is a priority for animals, guests and employees. Store GM has some latitude in merchandising decisions.

Cons

Salaries are below retail industry for comparable big box. We deal with live animals for sale and in the salons but there is no added compensation for this responsibility. Company is extremely politically correct and is quick to discipline and terminate for any variance from their interpretation of acceptable language.

Pros

Dynamic environment with good opportunities in various departments

Cons

Leadership cuts at store level led to overworked environment and that had a profound impact on employees' ability to keep up minimum standards of quality and safety, especially in the salons.
