Chews-A-Puppy

The managers there (which is like 3 at the same time) are all rude and talk bad about everyone. They patronize you and belittle you as if they’re better than you. Their expectations are based on opinion not facts. The pay is OK lets be real (especially for all the work you do) and even the manager pay  isnt much better. Yes the job has its amazing perks which is that you get to work with puppies and take care of them and its truly a fulfilling  job, but… the people make it very toxic and hard to work there so if you’re thinking about getting this job, sure, go for it. But only go so you can get some experience and then move on to a much better job. The sales people in the front will treat you like absolute garbage and like you’re less than and they also rub in your face how much money they made that day (cus they’re the ones that rlly make the money there not the kennel people.) The managers are very toxic people and i genuinely believe its not worth working there because you go home drained from them making you feel like a constant disappointment even though they sit around, eat and talk bad about everyone all day. 

You get a 15 minute break which is spent sitting outside behind the building in an alleyway, sitting on a curb to the street. You have to order food & be expected that the break is never set in stone. They are increasingly limited staff because they don’t have a formal training system for their new hires/ anyone who is promoted to their sales floor. You work for commission based salary. If you can’t make commission you will be paid a base rate. They did raise their base rate as an attempt to keep their lasting employees from quitting. They are apart of the pet ban taking place in 2022 of next summer. The environment is not formidable and meets less than low quality standards as far as work environments go. Whenever you leave or call out of your shift the management team will speak un-highly of you towards other employees. They state you’re not allowed to make friends with your coworkers but the higher level employees themselves meet up regularly outside of work together. Good luck is realistically all you can say from here to anyone that doesn’t read their reviews before showing up for an interview.

This is one of the most unprofessional and unorganized establishments I have ever worked in. There are at least 4 or 5 different managers working at once (who are related), they tell you how to do a job one way then the next day claim that it’s not what they said, the hiring manager is never there so you can’t talk about your pay or hours properly, you end up doing more work or a better job than most of the managers who are usually in the back talking or eating. They tend to repeat themselves a lot, so if you are a fast learner it tends to get exasperating. It doesn’t matter how hard you are working the managers will still be very patronizing and demanding towards you. They talk about you behind your back which is just sad. The managers like to make sure you know they are in charge. The job is fun and fulfilling but the environment that the people create there is purely toxic. 

I loved working at Chews a Puppy. I got to hold puppies all day long, bathe them, groom them, and I didn't mind cleaning up after them. The only kind of negative thing I have to say is when the store received new puppies any newish employees were not allowed to be in the very back room at all and there was absolutely no explanation why which kind of sketched me out a little bit. Often times the managers didn't even politely ask you to step out for a while and they could be quite rude when ushering you out of the room. Other than that all of the managers and coworkers were pretty nice and praised you for a job well done and were very considerate of your restrictions when scheduling your shifts. It was definitely a place where I looked forward going to work everyday. 

The people are ok outside of the work environment. They like to play mind games with you and have an unprofessional environment. Very stressful just for you to sell merchandise and puppies way too critical about everything. Plus they are constantly on the cameras watching and listening to your personal conversations with people. Only work here if you have very very thick skin. They will not call men to come in for an interview unless it’s on accident. Plus they won’t learn your name unless you have been there for over a month because they have such a high turn over rate. 

Chews A Puppy has provided me with the ideal employment situation! There is so much to learn from working here, and everyone genuinely wants to see you succeed and are always rooting for you. I am so grateful to have randomly found this opportunity and decided to go through with it. I am actively learning new things every day and the room and opportunity for growth is amazing.

Chews A Puppy has provided me with the best job experience I could ask for. You’ll learn so much with this growing business. The pay is more than fair and there is room for advancement within the company. Everyone on staff is very friendly and works hard to keep the storefront clean and presentable. Plus, who wouldn’t want to work with puppies??

Chews a puppy goes above and beyond for their employees. The trainers are very good at teaching and working with new employees. I have learned a lot since I have started working here. I am excited to come into work everyday! The pay and the hours are good! Plus I get to be with puppies all day!

Chews a puppy gives me the ability to support my family while learning a field I didn’t even realize was so big. The staff is great and management is constantly teaching and helping us grow

There's always something to do but the management can be harsh on you if you do something wrong. Even if it's unintentionally. They don't have a set time for lunch breaks. You finish your break as soon as you finish eating and sometimes they'll even interrupt your break time because they need you for something.
