Thank you for your interest in working at KC Pet Project. Below is an overview of the benefits that are offered to full-time employees of our organization.
2024 Benefits Overview
KC Pet Project recognizes seven company holidays including: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Since we are a 7 day a week operation, you may be required to work on holidays and will be paid overtime for the hours worked. We are closed to the public on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day only and will operate with a skeleton crew on those days. We offer two floating holidays per year to offset the holidays worked.
