Welcoming environment. Good benefits. Work with animals. Supportive peers.
Cons
Retail headaches. Work with very young associates that don't share good work ethics. Salaried and often work 50 to 60 hours depending. Not enough labor provided. Grooming salon can be tough.

We're happy to hear you enjoyed working with us, thanks for taking the time!
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.
