  I completely agree with Lyndie K. I was an employee at Burton's Total Pet for about 7 or 8 months and I quit working there a little over a year ago. I have never been treated so horribly at a job before in my life. The manager and the owners talked down to you, as if you were the dumbest person on the planet. They would make rude comments to us in front of customers, especially the female employees. We were never actually taught how to complete our tasks for the day, we basically just had to figure everything out on our own. And if we made a mistake of any kind, we were harshly scolded for it for days on end. A couple months after I began working there, my father passed away suddenly and I was scheduled to work that morning but I called the manager and the owners to let them know I wouldn't be able to come in for a few days. If you called off, the manager would have to cover until the next employee was scheduled to come in. And of course, they weren't very happy that I wasn't able to come in. The manager called me the morning of my father's funeral and asked if I'd be able to come in that day because another employee apparently called off and he "desperately" needed someone to come in. I told him what was going on and of course, I was scolded for not being able to come in. I came back the following Monday and was immediately brought into the manager's office and was repeatedly told how I inconvenienced them for an entire week and that I was walking on thin ice with them. I just kind of brushed it off but I went home that night and told my mother about it and she became so furious with them. I had a few days off and I really thought about it and I called the next morning and told the manager that I wasn't going to be working for them any longer and that I was tired of being treated the way I was. The manager then sighed quite dramatically into the phone and just told me to turn my work shirt in as soon as possible and then he proceeded to hang up on me. I have never been treated so terribly at a job before, the manager and the owners treated the female employees as if we were the dumbest people on the planet. I will not return to this store ever again and I would definitely try and convince anyone who tries to apply to work there to change their minds.
