Pros
- Bringing pets to work - Seeing ALL the dogs (and occasional cats) all day - Talking and learning about products and nutrition - Depending on the store, work environments can be laid back and casual - Some freedom to merch sections of store however you and your team think would work best for your location - Compared to other retail, stores and leadership are understanding of individual needs when it comes to calling in sick, emergencies, etc.
Cons
- Very high workload compared to pay - As you move up in the company the pay:workload disparity gets larger - Takes a painfully long time to let go of people that are toxic to workplace environment/just not cut out for the job - Not enough communication from the home office/executive team - Expectations do not always align with workplace values, especially in busier stores
