Pros

You meet great dogs and become an expert in dog behavior/body language. Awesome hotel manager. There are a variety of tasks to do so you aren't just doing the same boring thing all the time. Opportunities to move up as they open new branches.

Cons

Getting bitten by dogs. Crazy pet parents. If someone isn't pulling their weight it creates more work for you.

Pros

15% off whole store 50% proprietary brands Petting animals Friendly customers Almost never declines requested days off

Cons

Must have min one weekend day available No room for growth very hard to become full time Must make requests a month in advance even thought the schedule come out Thurs/fri for the following week, shifts can be unpredictable Coworkers with seniority have “better” shifts Scrubbing tanks may have you armpit deep They say everyone is equal and gets paid the same but not everyone put in the same effort, ex: some people don’t do pet care at all or never close or never work truck days
