Pros

Helping pet parents with their dogs. All employees share common interest.

Cons

Average Yearly raises of .12 cents after working over 5 years for company. Suppose to be an open door policy, however I have seen different, so I have learned to keep my mouth shut for fear of loosing my job. District Manager and Store Manager have a special connection that all others including other management are afraid to speak up. Not enough associate hours to help customers.

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.
