Pros

Managers do believe in praise, but I think that is location specific. If you like animals. this is the place to work. Pay is a dollar or so above minimum.

Cons

If you have a busy location, it can be really fast paced. This store was usually understaffed. Dealing with crazy pet lovers wasn't something I looked foreword to.

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.
