Pros

Although I've only been employed for a few weeks, the philosophy shared here promotes mutual respect for everyone by treating all individuals as equals. The corporate office refers to themselves as the "store support team" and strives to make new associates comfortable with relating to all levels of managment. Since the company is very new, there are exciting opportunities for advancement as people are employed during this ground level time. With only 28 stores, Petsense is continuing to open new store every few months and thoughs willing to relocate can advance very quickly.

Cons

The salary is quite low due to costs involved in starting up so many stores. I believe it will improve or I wounldn't have the taken the job. The technology for the inventory system seems very outdated and H.R. policies are pretty non-existent. It's a new company on a tight shoe-string budget being funded by private backers so it's understandable why things are not quite optimal yet.

Pros

Working with dogs donating expired food to shelter, Doing constant returns for beetles and worms in dog food as well as treats.

Cons

Sudden change to salary forced to work 55-60 hours a week no O.T unrealistic workload not enough hours to staff store according to meet expectations. Extremely low pay vs work load and responsibilities leads to animal neglect. Groomers underpaid cant commission causes high turn over. Lack of coverage never use PTO, so you loose it they dont pay it out to you. They call you CEO of company without a ceo paycheck! Run from this company.
