Hey all,
so a new shop opened up down the road from my house. Pet Valu. Just supply store they do not sell animals. They are making a program with the shelters to help pair those in search of animals
for them.
Here's my thing. I want to work with and around dogs for my last summer before I start real work (graduate in Oct). So I am applying. I went in today and noticed some things I wasn't keen on, and want honest opinions.
I am a loyal customer to a shop that doesn't sell anything that isn't healthy. They sell the brands that we try and convince people to buy. But they are not hiring. I've applied twice. This place sells things like science diet and RC BUT also carry the good stuff. When I asked the owner about the philosophy they held on food, they pretty much said, our job is to educate those who want to listen. OK I think I could live with that. He also said as product sells they will consider adding larger sections for the better food.
Do you think I should consider working for a place that sells food I'm against. They otherwise seem perfect. They are nice people and are desperate for employees. At the same time it may be a great chance for me to help educate the public on healthy products and how to learn a lot about dog food in a little amount of time.
Sorry for the ramble. I'm just trying to sort this out, and you guys are probably the best people to ask. I'm not looking to make money. I'm looking for a job for the summer that I can bring Harley with me (on lead or in xpen) and have fun with other dogs.
