"Working in a store with a great product is fun! Especially if you have great customers and fun, interesting staff who enjoy what they do. I like selling, and getting to know people. The only problem that I've had is with poor salary and an absolutely horrific district manager."

"Love working with people and helping people succeed. Not much I don't like about the job."

"I love developing employees and managers into people that are well trained and are invested in seeing the business succeed."

"I love the customers, hate the ability to staff. Not many positions are easy to staff due to the technical nature of their positions (groomers, trainers). The company has no real succession plan and most is put on the SM to deal with. If you can't find someone you are left to run the department as well as your own duties."

"There's no room to move up in this company. It's an earner job not a career."

"I enjoy diagnosing and resolving customer issues."

"I love being able to interact with the general public."

"It's a lot of work to manage different types of personalities all while trying to reach a unified goal. Once you accomplish it once, there is no other feeling, you feel like you can do anything."

"I love how all eyes are on me if we win or fail. I live off the pressure."

"I love the change of seasons and being able to merchandise. I think that is the favorite thing for me. What I don't like is the crazy schedules and being on call 24/7."

"I loved my job, my people, and my town. I did not have the support from the corporate level to do my job. Micromanagement is out of control."

"I enjoy developing others and watching them grow into positions that they desire."
