Pros
Great pay for a part-time job, close to $9/hr. Great management Great policies Inter-working with all departments Opening in Pet Care is like feeding time at a mini-zoo. Getting to know customers and their pets on a personal level makes their shopping (and your working) experience MUCH easier, and fun! Pets come first! Pet Parent's questions and understanding of problems that are occurring in their fish tanks, or training new puppies, or how to keep reptiles are always important. It feels great to, for example, help someone out who had been previously killing all their fish because of a silly mistake (cleaning the aquarium entirely for water changes- very common).
Kontras
Dealing with death. It happens, you have to get used to it. Mostly fish and crickets, than anything else. Opening in Pet Care is like feeding time at a mini-zoo. - Also sometimes a Con. Refilling hay-balls for both guinea pigs AND birds. Guineas constantly go through it, and birds will pull most of it out onto the bottom of their cage! Dealing with costumers who think adding 20 fish to a brand new 10 gallon tank all at once is a good idea, even if you warn them, they can still be persistent (and sometimes condescending).
