Pros

1. They treat you with respect 2. You can always go to your manager with anything you need help with and/or are uncomfortable with. 3. You will never get blamed of anything unless they already have prove you've done something (fair treatment) 4, You never have to deal with an animal that makes you uncomfortable 5. All tasks given to you are able to be completed in a timely manner as well as breaks. 6. If for some reason you are having difficulty completing the tasks they always help you when you need it. 7. There are multiple opportunities to prove you should be considered for a promotion or pay raise. 8. You are rarely asked to do anything your managers or seniors won't do themselves. 9. You do have a "blackout" period where you can't request off for the holidays-but they are as fair as possible and let you choose which shift you want. (shifts for holidays are only 4 hrs) unless you'd like to work more, in which they may let you. 10. The customers really like to know that you know their pet, and interacting with them and telling them about the day their pet had is rewarding. 11. Anything extra they see you doing, you do get a small reward.

Kontras

1. The starting pay isn't ideal, but higher than most places. 2. Sometimes the hours are long, the dogs won't behave and you are stuck in a day camp yard all day. (Everyone has to take their turn in the yard, it's only fair) If you interact with the animals and actually play with them, time flies. 3. You may not get your break when you want it--but you do get it. 4. Others don't work as hard as certain people and that is frustrating but this happens everywhere. 5. Sometimes Customers take out things on Pet Care and not the Manager (but every time this has happened a senior or manager intervenes.)

Pros

The company pushes for more and more from the bottom level employees without better pay. I worked there before the restructuring and; not much can make me cry, but working here sure did, even back then. I can’t imagine how anxiety inducing it must be to work there now. Animal welfare is a complete non-concern. The only thing that’s pushed is sell, sell, sell. It’s borderline dystopian. Bad management seems to be a common issue, not only from my experience, but many others’ as well. I worked until I was an exhausted sweaty mess to make sure everything in pet care or, when I groomed, the salon, was cleaned to perfection as expected of me (and I reiterate: “me,” because these standards were not expected of my co-workers, just me) and overall felt very unseen. The only times I did feel “seen,” was when mistakes were made. Work was treated like boot camp. A co-worker that was subtley targeting/bullying me, and even started rumors accusing me of racist remarks(!!!), was promoted and anything I reported was downplayed because they were friends with the assistant manager. Working here was an overall traumatizing experience.

Employees are expected to be work-robots
