Pros

Semi flexible on work schedule

Cons

Their employee reviews each year require you to “go above and beyond” so not a single employee had a high score according to our management team. Management team at my location had one member that would get onto workers for interacting with the cats even if the store was empty. Then a few minutes later they’d be seen petting the cats. One time they yelled at me while I was speaking with a customer because they couldn’t see the customer behind a shelf and assumed I was petting the cats, they did not apologize.

Pros

- Wonderful people under the Sr. Director level - Dogs in the office - Brand name carries weight on your resume

Cons

- Sr. Directors and above are largely nepotism hires rather than merit-based promotions - Leadership team is toxic and disrespectful, and that tone trickles down to other senior leaders - Gender favoritism shows up repeatedly, with women being asked to pick up the work of men without additional pay. Or men being promoted over women due to favoritism and not merit. - Nearly every employee I worked with was disengaged and functioning out of fear of layoffs rather than job satisfaction (layoffs happen multiple times a year) - The company's declining position also makes it harder to land your next role, since a recent Petco title now reads as coming from a struggling brand
