Pros

Depending on your store, managers may or may not be helpful, understanding, and flexible with schedule. This varies strongly store to store

Cons

Schedule varies widely week to week, corporate policy on animal husbandry is appalling, little to no consideration of associate input, emphasis on making money over well-being of animals, constant emphasis on things out of employee control (puppy guide/training sales, email capture)

Pros

If you have experience they can pay very well considering the size of the company. Depending on which store you are in, they can be pretty good at fostering a good environment and culture.

Cons

Company is primarily focused on sales and not customer experience. So expect a lot of metrics and hounding customers. Company is trying to be technologically forward but continues to neglect to invest in the technology. So there’s updates every week crashes every week with no communication around it.
