Pros

The company does try to give you what you need to complete the necessary tasks of the job. You can bring your pets to work, and the environment is somewhat laid-back. Most of the management has an open door policy.

Cons

The analytics department morale is somewhat low due to the below average pay scale. The onboarding process is not thought out. Management tends to play favorites and will provide opportunity to those that play the corporate politics.

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
