Pros

- Empowerment: The company truly empowers its employees to make decisions, allowing you to own your future and make career decisions aligned with your long-term goals. - Customer-Centered: The focus on supporting Pet Parents is evident in everything the company does. - Caring Culture: The people here genuinely care. When our pet recently passed, they sent flowers and offered a Pet Bereavement Day, great HR benefits, showing their deep empathy and support. - Great Team: The team is amazing, and everyone is committed to the company’s mission.

Cons

- Fast-Paced Environment: If you don’t enjoy working in a fast-paced company, this place might not be the right fit for you. - New Office Noise: The organization recently built out the home office, and it has been a bit loud in the office lately.

Pros

- If you like a fast-paced, quickly-changing, environment this is a great place - Employees get tons of autonomy to pursue new opportunities. If you prefer a more structured environment this probably isn't for you. - We're quickly growing up from a small business to a big company, and there are so many ways everyone can have an impact in shaping the type of company we become. It's fun to be part of. - (Almost) everyone loves pets here

Cons

- We could do better at being clear about our priorities and sticking to them - It would be great to see more emphasis on people development. We're starting to see this with a new leadership program being launched recently, but there could be more done to help people grow here.

Pros

The people and facilitators are generally fun to be around, and they like to make sure people are doing okay. I work with a busted knee, but no medical paperwork, and they still try to make sure I am able to do my job to the best I can. The opportunity to advance is ultimately up to the employee, as you can apply for just about any position from the moment you are hired on. Another thing is, the opportunity for over time is abundant. They offer it almost year round.

Cons

They don't communicate very well with changes to processes. The pay is, while the most I've ever made, still relatively low for production. Another thing is, raises don't stack. From production to trainer is a $2 raise, unless you already got a $.60 raise with your review, then it's $1.40 raise to trainer. During periods of mandatory overtime, they may have you work Saturdays during the day, so you only get one day a week to do the things outside the job you need to do.
