Pros

Working with the public and meeting their pets is awesome. Not being micro managed and able to use your creativity when merchandising is a plus. On the other hand, benefits are good.

Cons

Manager bait and switched , with salary,when I accepted the job. No job training whats so ever. Animal care at this particular store is horrible. management is floor coverage. Company has standards but noone follows them. district manager knows of issues but fails to do anything. Lack of accountability on all areas of management.

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
