Pros

People recognize the name of the company and this should help you find another job more quickly once you realize what a nightmare this place is and want out

Cons

There’s a clear hierarchy here and Ron and crew won’t let you forget it. If you’re in his club, you’re free to do as you like even if it means you’re wasting money, stressing resources, and firing good employees. If you’re not in the club (and there’s plenty of drama on this), bad news for you! Those “partners” get marginalized and pushed out on a regular basis. Lots of turf wars and paranoia here, leading to a real waste of energy and talent.

Pros

friendly store managers usually good discounts nostalgic

Cons

Forced to stay short staffed. Couldn't take proper breaks most days as a closing lead unless it was during the first few hours of shift. At the time the regional manager seemed more worried about the aesthetics of the back animal rooms floor that only employees saw when we had ac issues, issues getting access to an exotic vet, and only had enough hours to have two employees working at a time most shift on most days. I only had a couple interactions but that was one of them. Could not call off sick without leaving the store scrambling to find someone to stay open. Also sold improper habitats.
