Pros

some of the staff that i worked wirh were the loveliest people ever and it made my day making people happy by helping them make their new furry friend.

Cons

understaffed and i only got paid just enough to get by. i ended up getting lectured on the shop floor for talking to a colleague by a manager who proceeded to do the same when customers were walking in. i offered to do extra hours and i think a lot of the staff and managers abused that.
