Pros

Good place to work. High standards and expectations but that typical of retail or at least it should be. Easy carrer progression if you work hard. No real pick up in business right after thanksgiving. Real increase is late december and January.

Cons

Politics are present here just like every other corporate job. Pay is less than most other retailers but thats to be expected when you really only have to put in about 45 hours per week as a GM.

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
