Pros

I get to work with animals and an amazing team doing wonderful things to help save animals lives every single day.

Cons

I've always known I was underpaid, but never by how much. Until last week. Our new CEO asked all partners to do a review here, where I learned I make $10k under what I should. As one of his top 20 ranking Store Leaders, this is extremely disheartening to learn and I wish I could undo seeing that.

Pros

At first I really enjoyed working here, I loved having hands on experience with the animals and learning more about them. I also loved hands on experience with customers and helping them with their needs.

Cons

After time the work environment become toxic, my managers became rude. And I realized both the manager and the assisted manager talked bad about everyone else. I was blamed multiple times for things that were not my fault, and left to clean up after everyone else’s messes. I was also blamed for a groomer cutting a dog simply because I was entered the grooming salon. I would not recommend working at this location, because you most likely will be talked bad about and get multiple complaints about things that are not your fault.
