Pros

Working with animals and gaining experience in that field. Chance to gain promotions but it is difficult and usually requires someone leaving their job post. Health care and 401 K for full time employees but if you make only $9 an hour it's a big chunk taken out of your already dismal paycheck.

Cons

Pay is terrible and you only get a raise once a year and it's not even a good one. Since the pay isn't very good you work with a lot of people right out of high school or people who don't care and are just there to get a pay check to have one. The cost of living is very high and they don't pay you enough to be able to live on your own even if you're full time. If you're a veterinarian then you're fine but people on the lower pay scale suffer.

Pros

You can bring your pet to work and I suppose the benefits, if you can stand to stay 90 days.

Cons

Horrendously bad Management and communication. Training was pretty much non-existent at every level. Turnover was bad at every level. Excuses made by Management for employees that crossed lines that should not have been crossed. Very unprofessional.
