animates - Store Manager Animates Employee Review

The coworkers are amazing and super fun to work with. Vet discount is amazing and store discount is good too.

Management and customers aren’t always great.

Heaps of things to learn, very varied work (for retail). Generally positive customers because they're happy to talk about their pets. Typically upbeat, lively, fun role on a day to day basis. Ideal as a short term thing or part time whilst at uni etc. Do not learn management from them, you will be taught the wrong things.

Poor management culture from store level to regional. Lots of bullying. Lots of favouritism. Lots of deeply insecure lower levels managers who can't handle a challenge without making things personal. Have known managers to drive to people's houses and check that they are home on a sick day. Blatant power tripping and it's celebrated amongst the management team as being a good thing.
