Vantaggi

The interaction with dogs is great Many of the pet parents are wonderful and regularly bring treats. You get great customer service experience You learn all the dogs that are regulars and you'll love seeing them walk in! Working holidays, long hours, and stressful times with too few people makes you closer to your peers.

Svantaggi

Seniors have no management perks but are required to run shifts alone. Daycamp is soul crushingly boring, don't expect breaks or a person to relieve you. 15 min. breaks are a joke when you're a Senior, you do well to get a lunch and must manage your own hours for fear of going over weekly hours Speaking of hours, there are never enough. You will be running shifts where its only you and one person in back when daycamp is over. This leaves you running the front desk (associated are rarely cross trained for this) plus your duties as a Senior. You are required to work all holidays and are threatened with write-ups and termination if you're sick.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

Employees are expected to be work-robots
