Pros
I learned quite a bit about merchandise, preventatives, and pet foods, as "lunch and learns" were a regular occurrence. Also, I enjoyed the opportunity to assist with kennel duties and bathing in order to earn holiday pay and extra hours when I wanted them.
Cons
To be fair, perhaps it was the particular women with whom I worked, however, management did little to nothing about the issues; if I did not willingly stay an extra 30 minutes to 2 hours, my co workers resented me and complained about me. I believe it was one of the most uncomfortable, unhealthy work environments I have ever experienced. Don't get me wrong, I am more than willing, and actually happy, to stay late and work long hours when necessary and as needed, but every night? To get all the cans facing forward and windows cleaned, ie, tasks we could complete if we simply arrived a half an hour early the next day? Like I said, once a week, ok that's to be expected, but it was every night.
