I'm thinking of leaving what is my dream job and would like another take. At the end, also, I have some questions about my departure.

I worked in a retail pet store since July of last year.

There are managers A and B who are both quite mean to most of the associates, and they tend to each pick someone they dislike and just treat them poorly for a while. A briefly tried to get me to quit when she decided I was coming for her job, but it ended when I got promoted to Dog Trainer this summer. B consistently tries to cheat me out of breaks, will give me extremely long lists of tasks which are impossible to accomplish in the amount of time I have (and other managers agree, and shorten the list when I tell them). He also used to just ride me very hard until I cried when he was my direct report, but since promotion he just hasn't been able to. They're feuding with each other constantly. The upper managers do nothing about this. A coworker has offered to come forward about it with me, but to be honest the culture in the store is such that anyone who has a complaint is a complainer, and they immediately try and blame it on the person speaking up. My other coworkers attitude is that B is just how he is, and I shouldn't take it so personally.

I was promoted to Dog Trainer in late May; they continued interviewing other candidates "just to tell them they don't have the position" and didn't let me say anything about it until July. I was not sent for training until September. Right before sending me off for training they told me 1) I wouldn't be full time "until I have enough clients" even though the last dog trainer, who had quit, was full time from the getgo, and 2) that I likely would not recieve the raise I was expecting. Yesterday they dodged me yet again for an employee review, which will me the 6th quarterly review I have been skipped on-- meaning they haven't given me one since I started working there. This is important because it is the only time I am allowed to ask for a raise. This isn't normal at all for associates. Basically they have been jerking me around for months, on every little thing. I'm someone trying to crawl out of homelessness and to be quite honest, I feel they have taken advantage of how much I need a job to do this to me. They also won't let me take more than one day off my availability and do not pressure other associates to come in at times and days bad for them they way they do me (even before my promotion). This has made it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for me to get a second job. They also sometimes will not give me my schedule until the Friday before I am supposed to be in Monday.

I had been staying because I wanted to train dogs. It's something I'm passionate about. However, I really think that the store environment is toxic and I don't think it is going to change. They keep teasing me with being full time but they won't tell me or give me an idea of what I need to do to be full time, which I need to do to pay rent and buy food and etc. So I think it's time to leave.

​

For part 2, here-- I haven't signed anything to this effect but I'm worried they will try to charge me for my training expenses when leaving. I'm also trying to stick it out at least 2 more months so that I can put dog trainer on my resume and maybe have an easier time finding another job. But I don't know how valuable this will be. To be honest I'd like to start applying and go for it.
