Pros

- Work with Animals - Customers are usually quite nice as they care about animals - Discounts on products, really helps out if you have pets of your own and need to buy food and supplies - Management was friendly and fair - Video training courses available to learn about all different types of animals, this info helps a lot when speaking with customers

Cons

- Often understaffed, but normal amount for retail - Cleaning the cages of some of the animals gets old after awhile - Job pays the bills but has very few options for career growth

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.
