What makes the Fish & Bone special? First of all we’ve got a fantastic team – check out our Google reviews to hear what our customers say. We’re an indie (independent) retailer, which means we don’t have shareholders or a big central corporate office – you’ll have direct contact with decision makers all the way up the line. We’re growing, and that means career paths in areas like sales, ecommerce, management, buying and social media. We’re super selective about the products we carry – only the best healthy, creative, eco-friendly and innovative products are chosen to be part of our unique selection. We offer the highest starting pay of any pet retailer in our metropolitan area, plus paid time off for part time as well as full-time Team Members. We provide excellent training. You will receive in-depth product knowledge from our senior team as well as from vendors and manufacturers. Free products and generous discount: you’ll be able to try out multiple pet foods entirely free, using our free feeding program with top quality all-natural brands. You’ll also get a generous discount, up to 50%, on all of your pet supplies. And maybe best of all – we provide excellent training that you can apply to any life situation. Your ability and confidence will grow as you learn from our proven method of selling by genuinely helping customers – an incredibly valuable life skill that you can apply in any professional or personal setting.
