Pros

Working with animals , bonus every 4 months and benefits

Cons

HAHA. I could go on for hours As a CEL you will get zero to little help. Most of everyone's focus is helping MIL. Even when I asked for help it was shrugged off. Being the only person to catch back up at either the fish wall or register, take calls , help salon , pick orders and take orders out is absolutely ridiculous. They expect way too much out of managers. Hands down the most soul draining job I've ever had. You'll also get a schedule that's all over the place. I couldn't have a work and life balance because of this. My days off I was too drained to do absolutely anything.

Pros

The staff care a lot and try their hardest but it leads to burn out and being taken advantage of by a company the does not care about YOU.

Cons

Poor management. No work life balance. Bad scheduling. Bad pay. No communication. Leads expected to work more than 10 hours a day during high volume periods, Be responsible for too many things. You run around like a chicken with it's head chopped off the whole time you're at work. Staff are snippy, and rude. A few are okay. Company has you working bare bones, and does not care. Pet parent's are weird, and I don't think have realistic expectations that the boarding facility is more like dropping your dog off at a dog shelter for a week while you go on vacation than a "fun time" for your dog. Dogs get fed, watered, pottied. If that is all you care about, then use the PetHotel. If you want your dog to have fun, and be out of a stressful environment (few dogs do well with constant barking and noise all day, plus being stuck in a cement run, thrown in with a bunch of other dogs who have never been properly socialized) just do in home boarding. I would never board my dog at a place like this.
