Parting Thoughts:

BIXBI Pet is a fun, rapidly growing local company. We have a glass-is-half-full mentality, especially if it’s half full with suds from the micro-brewery right across the street. We may joke about beer (and lots of other things), but we are a professionally run operation and bring our “A game” to work every day. We work hard, but also know when it’s time to take a break. We believe chocolate and coffee are not vices and should be readily provided to all employees. And if your dog is house trained, they are welcome at the office.
