Pros

Unique position available not just to people wtih prior experience but also newcomers looking to leran and expand their skills. Hourly pay on top of earning about 20% of all sales with potnetial to go up to 25% Very good employee discount

Cons

Hourly pay stays stagnant Commission is affected by discounts and with a monthly offer to dog training services, commission always comes up shorter if you're not making really good sales Will have to assume store responsibilities as it is still a retail job. Be prepared to help with weekly merchandise stocking, cashiering, and being invested in store's overall sales Ease of job may depend heavily on management

Pros

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

Cons

Forced to stay short staffed. Couldn't take proper breaks most days as a closing lead unless it was during the first few hours of shift. At the time the regional manager seemed more worried about the aesthetics of the back animal rooms floor that only employees saw when we had ac issues, issues getting access to an exotic vet, and only had enough hours to have two employees working at a time most shift on most days. I only had a couple interactions but that was one of them. Could not call off sick without leaving the store scrambling to find someone to stay open. Also sold improper habitats.
