GUT-CHECK / SUMMARY : We're looking for full-time key-holders with retail experience and a desire to develop a long-term career. Depending on experience, this opportunity could be for a Team Leader or an Assistant Manager position.  You're a smart, high-energy, positive-minded pet lover.

We're planning to hire two Team Leaders (Key-Holder).
