Pros

There is great exposure on a corporate level. As a Marketing Data Analyst you work cross-functionally with many departments such as Marketing, Advertising, Visual, Accounting, and of course Merchandising.

Cons

There is no defined career development plan in place. Unless you know someone in another department, don't plan on receiving any communication regarding advancement in other areas. The systems are also a huge issue. It seems as if PETCO is stuck in the past with it's computer systems. All of the data can also be overwhelming. It seems as if there is often too much time spent on data versus actually analyzing trends and other issues affecting the business.

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 - Sexism 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
