Fun place to work at, taking care of animals and interacting with customers and making sure they are educated about animal care
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), White Rock, BC –
Pros: animal care education classes
A typical day at Petland would be to reach the end of the day sales target, time management is a must, helping more than one customer at once and being attentive and friendly to everyone without breaking the professionalism aspect of the job. Taking care of the animals, working around their schedule (feeding, bathing, walking, etc.) The most enjoyable – more...  part of the job was seeing the look on customers faces when I deliver them with exactly what they were looking for. – less

A fun place to meet new people and learn so much more everyday about not only animals but the people in our neighborhoods.
Sales Supervisor (Current Employee), Fort Myers, FL –
Pros: being around new people, animals, and having responcibilities
Cons: "too many chiefs and not enough indians", hardly any order/ organization
A typical day at work would start out by taking care of all the animals, and making sure the store was presentable to customers. Once we were open to the public we are to assist customers every need, whether it be supplies or a new addition to their family. Learning something new everyday is an enjoyment. The people here are friendly, outgoing, and – more...  knowledeable. Managemnet could be a bit better though, I believe rules should be enforced for everyone, everyday; not when one "feels" they should be. The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to interact with customers and making their expierence an enjoyable one. Being able to rectify a customers problem and have them leave with a smile, makes my whole day worth while. – less

Trained by the owner
Inventory Control Manager (Former Employee), Valparaiso, IN –
Pros: working with owner
Cons: odd hours
I counted and tallied inventory, did chargebacks and oversaw 3-7 employees a day. The data from the inventory helped me with ordering product that I sometimes displayed and put out.

Competitive work environment
Pet Counselor (Former Employee), Columbus, GA –
It helped me with customer experiance and work ethic. I dealt with animals on a daily basis, I assisted in caring for the animals and introducing them to the customers. The environment was somewhat hostile, and i would not like to work at this area again.

The overall goal here is to make money, not to help animals.
Small Animal Specialist (Former Employee), Lewis Center, OH –
Pros: work with awesome animals and, educate people on how to care for their pet(s).
Cons: faulty management.
I did not enjoy working here because the employers only cared about sale rates and not how the employees were taking care of the animals, which was lacking.
