Does not care about employees

Pros

You get to occasionally play with some cute animals. Offers direct deposit or a pay-card, as well as paper checks. You do get benefits.

Cons

Paid minimum wage as a grooming assistant to not only do grooming salon "chores" but work on the sales floor, do register, run errands, clean cages, restock shelves, do truck shift, and more. Can not get raises. Jipped on vacation hours/pay. Lots of drama. If the wrong person doesn't like you, they can influence the manager to fire you.
