Pros

You get to bring your pet to work. Great coworkers. The company as a whole is a great place, lots a fun activities that involve the whole company.

Cons

Management treats team like workhorses. Long hours, pressure to go faster, Sometimes Managment literally standing behind your back while you work on finishing something for them. The store design managers are rude and talk terrible to the employees. It was such a nice place when I first started at Petco but then it because a CAD factory with no real appreciation.

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
