Pros

Great pet parents Great people to work with depending on who you are scheduled with

Cons

Incompetent store lead Corporate expects us to do so much in 5 hours and they keep on cutting our hours. VP wants to get rid of micro stores because they "only earn 1 million" a year. Completely out of touch

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.
