Pros

Great discount on food and supplies for your cats and dogs. They pay you slightly higher than other retailers.

Cons

You will get reprimanded if you push back on upper management. Customers are allowed to walk all over you and you have to take it. They act like they are a great, inclusive, employee owned company, but don’t really care about their employee’s ideas to improve the environment of the store.
